North Island highlights include the spectacular Bay of Islands, the coastal walks and lush bush of the Coromandel, geo-thermal Rotorua and the capital, Wellington. On the South Island explore the rugged West Coast, adventure capital Queenstown, scenic Fiordland, historic Dunedin and magnificent Mt. Cook. |
