Best Of New Zealand

Across this incredible country, you can find everything from untamed wilderness to rich culture. Embrace the beautiful culture of the Maori, the indigenous people of Aotearoa (New Zealand) for over 1,000 years. There are over 100 tribes across New Zealand, all with unique stories to share of their connection to the country, its wilderness, and history.

Learning of the Maori customs, such as Manaakitanga (showing respect and welcoming guests), which are so integral to the culture of this wonderful country is a must to get the true experience of New Zealand. The best way to make connections between New Zealand’s past, present, and future is by weaving Maori-guided tours and arts into your exploration of the county, which is a specialty of Swain’s Travel Experts.

New Zealand’s unspoiled landscapes are iconic for their diversity and begging to be explored. From snow-capped mountains perched on crystal clear lakes, to secluded coastline housing colonies of penguins, and ancient volcanic peaks and craters – stunning views and moments to capture for a lifetime are at every turn.

Its wilderness and wildlife are what make New Zealand an adventure seeker’s dream destination. Experiencing these landscapes from land, sea, and air is a must. On the North Island, enjoy some of the world’s best trout fishing before exploring the many isolated caves and bays of Lake Taupo, or enjoy wide-open, lush wilderness on horse-back or quad bike.

Whether jet boating over the Dart River, touring Milford Sound by helicopter, tasting your way through the Marlborough wine region, or glacier hiking at Franz Josef; New Zealand’s South Island is renowned for offering adventure at all levels of ability.
