Elect's take

"New Zealand has a quality of landscape and a spirit of adventure that I find genuinely energising. The country is smaller than many visitors expect but the variety of experiences it delivers is extraordinary."

What makes New Zealand so remarkable is the concentration of natural beauty in a relatively compact and easily navigable country. Within a single trip it is possible to experience volcanic landscapes, ancient rainforests, glacier-carved fjords, world class beaches and some of the best wine in the southern hemisphere. Queenstown has developed into a genuinely exceptional destination that goes far beyond its adventure sports reputation, with outstanding restaurants, luxury lodges and beautiful lake scenery. Auckland is a cosmopolitan harbour city with a strong food culture and easy access to the islands of the Hauraki Gulf. New Zealand also has some of the finest luxury lodges in the world, often set in remote natural locations that feel genuinely exclusive and deeply connected to the landscape.
