New Zealand [1] is a temperate to sub-tropical island nation
in the South Pacific Ocean.
A former British colony, the majority of the population is
of European descent, with a sizeable indigenous Maori minority
and smaller minorities of various Polynesian and other groups.
A modern but sparsely populated country, it boasts natural
beauty and a wide range of outdoor and adventure activities.
Understand
New Zealand was named god's own country and 'paradise of the
pacific' as far back as the early 1800s and travellers generally
agree it deserves that description.
A common mistake is to allow insufficient time for a visit.
(Since it's a long and expensive way to go for most people,
many folks end up spending all their time in Australia and then
wishing that they had spent an equal or longer time in this
very variegated archipelago).
Relax and allow at least three or four weeks for each island!
Lonely Planet named New Zealand the world's top travel destination
for the second year running (2003/2004), and it was voted best
long-haul travel destination in the 2004 Guardian and Observers
Peoples Choice award. It has won the award in three out
of the past four years. At the 2005 Cond? Nast Traveller Awards,
readers voted New Zealand as the best holiday destination in
the world. New Zealand is also known by the Maori name of Aotearoa,
which is usually translated as "(Land of the) long white
cloud".
