The beautiful scenic country of New Zealand is situated in the South Pacific to the east of Australia.
New Zealand consists of three main islands: North Island, South Island and the smaller Stewart Island.
People travel between North and South Islands by plane or Inter-Island passenger and vehicle ferries.
The ferry crosses Cook Strait and cruises beautiful Queen Charlotte Sounds between Wellington, NZ's Capital City, and Picton.
The Cook Strait crossing (named after Captain James Cook) takes about three hours. Some crossings are calm, others very choppy.
The splendour of Queen Charlotte Sounds, like Fiordland in Western Southland in the South Island, is an amazing place to visit.
NZ's East Coast has many stretches of white sand and rolling surf which attract NZ and overseas surfers. They are popular NZ family holiday places.
The beaches on the South Island West Coast have coarser black sand and much of its coastline and some of the East Coast is massive, touring cliffs.
In the north, New Zealand's largest city Auckland is called the 'City of Sails' because of the thousands of yachts in its harbours or out sailing.
New Zealand is a land of contrasts, which attract thousands of overseas tourists every year to climb, ski or snowboard our mountains, swim, fish or cruise on our lakes and rivers.
