Book Description
New Zealand is a country where nature is king, a land of natural splendor and a constant progression of scenic contrasts. Here, you can revel in almost every kind of outdoor adventure, stay at luxury lodges, appreciate spectacular displays of gardens, taste wines of growing reputations, experience the fascinating culture of the indigenous Maori, or simply go fly-fishing for some of the finest trout on earth. The Traveler's New Zealand Companion explores the country's ever-changing coastline, subtropical rainforests, glacial lakes, alpine mountains, dense glaciers and smoldering volcanoes and geysers. It uncovers the relaxed ambience of this faraway nation -- predominantly a mixture of Europeans, Maori and Polynesians, whose unpretentious and friendly hospitality adds much to the charm of their country.
