Bridge to Nowhere: stunning walking in the Whanganui National Park

Take a botanical trip around the world at Paloma Gardens in Whanganui. 

Egmont National Park with its iconic cone of Mount Taranaki is home to hundreds of kilometres of walking and tramping tracks, from gentle day walks to more challenging tramps. 

Summit the city's youngest, largest and most iconic volcano.

At the northern head of Queenstown’s Lake Wakatipu, Glenorchy is the launchpad for some of New Zealand’s best multi-day tramps and Great Walks.

There’s something about spending time next to a lake that’s good for your soul. In Wānaka, the lake is so picturesque you may never want to leave.

South of the southernmost tip of the South Island you’ll find Rakiura Stewart Island. 

The name Ōrakei Kōrako means something along the lines of ‘painted place’ in Māori and it’s easy to see why.

If the idea of a guided tour brings you out in spots, you’ll be wanting to bring yourself to the spots you most want to see.

As far as window seats go, they don’t get much better than on the TranzAlpine, where the term ‘picture window’ takes on a whole new meaning. 

Pay homage at the home of contemporary, commercial bungy by strapping on a bungy cord and throwing yourself into the ether.
