Kia ora! It’s time for ‘New Zealand’

Explore this magnificent gem with Dook’s New Zealand Tour Packages

Not just the land of kiwis but of unique adventures, spellbinding cultures and breathtaking landscapes, New Zealand is an incredible choice to explore something exclusive and extraordinary. It may be a compact island with hype like any other popular tourist destination, but its unspoiled charm does not fade away with time; no matter how many times you visit. Across this spectacular country, you can easily spot the unmatchable wilderness, diverse cultures, jade-green rocky hills, quiet bays, small towns oozing laid-back vibes, snow-laden mountains, greatest scenic drives, glittering blue rivers, fjords and abundant food. It is, therefore, easy to understand why New Zealand tops the charts of the most fascinating destinations in the world, enticing repeat and new visitors year on year.

Divided between two islands, the North and the South, New Zealand is packed with various unique attractions, be it the beaches, shimmering lakes or fjords, bubbling mud ponds and geothermal geysers, vast vineyards, or its distinctive Maori culture mixing well with the cosmopolitan cities and quaint villages. Undoubtedly, this naturally blessed country looks straight out of some movie set shot in the surreal outdoors but there’s a lot more beyond the natural wonders that make this country an ideal choice for backpackers, honeymooners, families and everyone who loves exploring something extraordinary. Delve deeper into its vibe and you’ll be amazed by how experientially rich Auckland is; how mind-boggling Napier’s art deco is; how magnificent the experience on sailing yachts at The Bay of Islands is; how exhilarating is a self-drive tour from Christchurch to Queenstown or how stunning is the coastal scenery at Milford Sound. What’s more? You even get a chance to have a ‘rendezvous with the rare’ and the list includes Hector’s dolphins, yellow-eyed and blue penguins and of course, the national kiwi bird that specifically calls NZ it's beloved home.

Whether you're visiting magnificent New Zealand for a few days, a few weeks, or probably a few months, you'll never run out of places to see here. Need ideas to help you plan your New Zealand Tour?

Show your daredevil spirit and go mountain biking, luging, or sky diving because “Life is either a great adventure or nothing”. Rotorua is also the best place to learn about the native Maori culture and their history of origin and nothing can be as best as attending one of the Maori Cultural Shows in Rotorua.  
 
5. Christchurch: Full of new hopes and vitality

New Zealand’s oldest and second-largest city after Auckland, Christchurch holds up a facelifted aura.

Be it the Canterbury Museum, a gondola ride into the nearby hills, a day sent well with the families at its expansive parks and public gardens, a fine dine sesh at a Greek restaurant or a hike in the Port Hills, you have no reason to not love this splendid city and its experiences. What’s more? Christchurch, being one of the many important hubs in New Zealand for business and tourism is very easily accessible from almost all parts of the world and is also considered one of the 5 gateways to the Antarctic region.

Well-known for its scenic wonders, underground gems, black sand beaches and overnight bush excursions, the Hamilton and Waikato region offers a myriad of options for those keen on seeing something exciting, lush and charismatic.
