Bridge to Nowhere: stunning walking in the Whanganui National Park

Ride through ancient podocarp forest, over some of New Zealand's longest and highest suspension bridges and along an old bush tramway following the hard-fought footsteps of early loggers.

Venture off the beaten track in northern Manawatū to discover the soaring caves at Limestone Creek Reserve.

Feel a world away, retreat into lazy days and drift from vineyards to olive groves to beaches on Waiheke.

Despite its destructive history, Mount Tarawera today is a sleeping giant.

Get to the nub of it at all and join a free guided tour into the heart of New Zealand’s Government at the Beehive in the parliamentary precinct.

There is near-optically pure water at the sacred ‘Place of the Dancing Sands', the largest freshwater springs in the southern hemisphere.

Marvel at pods of wild dolphins, migratory orca, seals and blue penguins in the pristine big blue yonder.

Traverse beautiful coastline, riverbeds, rolling pastures and native bush before taking in panoramic views and experiencing the exhilarating sight and sound of 20,000 gannets.

Make the most of the photo op with these huge, marble-like boulders strewn along windswept Koekohe Beach.

Mount Manaia towers over Whangārei Harbour in a cluster of majestic craggy peaks, irresistible to anyone who appreciates a dramatic view.
