  • New Zealand
    A land of hobbits, dramatic landscapes and breathtaking views, New Zealand makes an appearance on many travel bucket lists. From pristine beaches to rugged mountainsides, crystalline lakes to urban sprawl, there’s so much to see and do across the two islands. © Rawpixelimages | Dreamstime.com
  • Milford Sound
    Milford Sound, located within Fiordland National Park, is covered in rainforests, waterfalls and spectacular wildlife, including seals and dolphins. Kayak or cruise the waterways while surrounded by the towering peaks or glimpse the shimmering surface of the water from above, with an aerial tour of the region. © BiancoBlue | Dreamstime.com
  • Cathedral Cove
    A marine reserve, Cathedral Cove is a secluded beach accessed via a 30-minute hike through the bush. The reward is worth the effort, though, as you’re treated to beautiful, golden sandy beaches, with dramatic rock formations and vivid blue waters. © Cbork7 | Dreamstime.com
  • Mount Cook
    New Zealand’s tallest peak is Mount Cook, where the landscape is otherworldly and fantastic in every sense. Depending on your itinerary, you can hike the base of the mountain on accessible trails that take a few hours to complete or you can make a quick stop at Tasman Lake for a picturesque walk under an hour. © Rinus Baak | Dreamstime.com
  • Tongariro National Park
    Tongariro National Park is the oldest national park in New Zealand, but you may recognize it for a separate claim to fame — its Mount Ngauruhoe is Mount Doom in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. While a must-see for film fans, it also offers attractive activities for outdoorsmen and adventurists, with three volcanoes, skiing and snowboarding. © Benkrut | Dreamstime.com
  • Clay Cliffs of Omarama
    The Clay Cliffs of Omarama were formed by melting glaciers more than a million years ago and now boast a somewhat alien appearance. See the area in the summer for lush greenery, vivid wildflowers and rushing glacier rivers. © Naruedom Yaempongsa | Dreamstime.com
  • New Zealand
    With a vibrant hue that in places rivals that of Iceland’s Blue Lagoon, Hokitika Gorge derives its color from glacier water and plankton. Take it in from the safety of the hiking trails, or venture into the water (carefully), if you can stand the cold. © Pakorn Wichitworawong | Dreamstime.com
