When you first arrive in New Zealand, it’s nearly impossible not to get sucked into the youthful spirit that fills the country. The vast outdoor wilderness has more than enough natural attractions that will take your breath away, as well as some of the world’s best surfing, mountain biking, canoeing and hiking. Outside of the action-packed adventure, cosmopolitan cities like Auckland and Wellington have plenty of opportunities to get a taste of both traditional Māori culture and easy-going Kiwi life.
