Diverse and Unspoiled Scenery

New Zealand has a lot to offer if you're looking for spectacular scenery and memories that last a lifetime. New Zealand, which consists of two main islands, boasts an astounding variety of magnificent landscapes, from beaches and subtropical forests in the north to glaciers, lakes, and snow-capped mountains in the south. There are also hot springs, fjords, volcanoes, and stunning, rolling green pastures—a diversity unmatched on the planet.

Milford Sound is one example of an unspoiled landscape. It is dubbed the "eighth wonder of the world" by poet and author Rudyard Kipling and is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places on earth. It is one of New Zealand's top natural wonders. It is home to numerous waterfalls, the most magnificent of which is Stirling Falls, three times higher than Niagara Falls and plunges approximately 500 feet. Many boat tours will take you up close, so close you may be right beneath the water, to the cascades as they vertically spill over the rock into the fjord.
