New Zealand
Even if you have seen the Lord of the Rings trilogy you will only have touched the surface of Aotearoa – Land of the Long White Cloud, so named because as you approach New Zealand by sea the first sighting of the country is the dramatic snow-capped Southern Alps, which appear like a ‘long white cloud'.

When travelling from one island to the other you may be forgiven for feeling that you have experienced two different parts of the world, as the diverse sequence of landscape is like no other country in the world. New Zealand lies on the southern rim of the Pacific Ocean, where a rich tapestry of Maori, Polynesian and European influences has created a wonderful blend of cultures.
