Māori Culture
Māori are tangata whenua, the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand. Through meaningful cultural experiences we invite you to form a personal connection with the value and traditions of our people. Feel the manaakitanga (hospitality) as you learn about Kupe's voyage to Hokianga or listen to the dawn chorus in Waipoua Forest. Paddle a waka, weave flax, or spend time with a Kaumatua (elder), leaving you with a deeper understanding of Aotearoa.
Winter Wonderland
From June to October, New Zealand's alpine regions transform into a snowy paradise. Embrace the thrill of off-piste skiing, heli-skiing, or snowmobiling against breathtaking backdrops. Bask in the warmth of geothermal bathing or alpine hot tubs with sensational views. As night falls, savour a glass of pinot noir by a crackling fire, or watch for the Southern Lights dancing over quiet landscapes.
Summer Adventures
There's nothing quite like a Kiwi summer, with long, sun-drenched days welcoming endless exploration. Embark on scenic rail journeys, bask on dreamy beaches, or hike through coastal national parks. Kayak and fly-fish in crystal-clear rivers, or take the helm on an America's Cup yacht. As balmy evenings fade to night, discover enchanting tree walks or luminescent glowworms.
Aotearoa’s Wildlife
New Zealand's unique wildlife offers unforgettable encounters on land and sea. Kayak or swim alongside playful dolphins and curious seals, or watch adorable penguins. Visit predator-free sanctuaries to spot rare native birds, search for elusive kiwi, or marvel at the intelligence of the cheeky kea. For a taste of rural New Zealand life try sheep shearing or cow milking on an exceptional farm stay.
