Wine Country
Navigating your way around the vineyards of Hawke's Bay or Marlborough is
an enchanting way to spend time with your nearest and dearest. The charm of
the wine growing countryside is complemented by boutique bed and breakfast
establishments, quaint museums and well marked walking trails which lead to
secluded picnic spots.
What To Eat
Newzealand meals are typically hearty and appetizing with restaurant
prices being comparable to those in North America and Western Europe. New
Zealand lamb is the most commonly found meat served on our dinner table and
is usually prepared as a roast dish with herbs. Beef is not too
expensive. Chicken and duck are abundant sources of protein, while domestic
venison, often served as a stew, is a tender specialty well worth
tantalizing your taste buds with. Seafood is plentiful year round and all
New Zealand shellfish varieties are fresh and delicious
Adventure Sports
Apart from beautiful landscapes, New Zealand's rugged terrain has led it to
become one of the adventure capitals of the world. Exhilaration is around
every corner: heli-skiing, white water rafting on the famous Shotover River,
jet boating, water-skiing, mountain biking, four wheel driving in rugged
terrain, climbing or skiing live volcanoes, snowboarding, parachuting and
paragliding. A hiker's paradise, Newzealand features dozens of walking
tracks.
