When you first arrive in New Zealand, itโs 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 worldโs 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 Mฤori culture and easy-going Kiwi life.
