Tour Destinations in New Zealand
Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city and formerly it’s capital, is situated between two enormous harbours and dotted with 48 extinct volcano cones. It is a beautiful, open and cosmopolitan city as well as the country’s principal international gateway. Auckland has a rich Polynesian heritage, and you will notice the passion for outstanding food, wine and shopping. The Aucklander’s passion for boats has earned it the nickname, City of Sails, and indeed the harbour and the many boats within it play an important role in the city’s life.
Rotorua is one of New Zealand’s most famous tourist destinations and is best known for its Geothermal activity, sitting squarely on the Pacific Ring of Fire.

Rotorua is also the heartland of New Zealand’s Maori culture, and visitors can enjoy a performance of song and dance, followed by food cooked in a traditional hangi (earthen oven).
