Get ready for mammoth national parks, dynamic Māori culture, and skiing. New Zealand can be mellow or action-packed, but it's always epic.
Writer Anita Isalska says "New Zealand lives up to the hype - not easy, in a country that wins lavish praise from millions of visitors. this land is more magical than its movie sets: volcanoes smolder, fiords are pinch-yourself pretty and beaches have dreamy surf. But it's NZ's understated charms that reeled me in, like New Zealanders' disarming honesty and humour, and the pioneer spirit that endures in remote areas. Tolerant and eco-conscious NZ feels like a sanctuary in a turbulent world. I'd hide out here forever."
Lonely Planet’s New Zealand is your passport to the most relevant, up-to-date advice on what to see and skip, and what hidden discoveries await you. Glide through turquoise waters past pods of orcas in Bay of Islands; try black-water rafting in astonishing Waitomo Caves; watch the ground breathe steam in volcanic Rotorua; and hit the slopes in Queenstown and Wanaka.
Wellington is Lonely Planet's #1 on the list of top things to do in New Zealand.
