New Zealand
New Zealand is a country of dramatic landscapes where adventure and nature go hand in hand. In Fiordland, Milford Sound’s towering cliffs and misty waterfalls create one of the country’s most iconic scenes, while Queenstown has become the global capital of adrenaline sports. Across the islands, geothermal valleys bubble around Rotorua, golden beaches stretch through Abel Tasman National Park, and alpine trails cross the volcanic landscapes of Tongariro. Film fans can also visit rolling farmland that brought Hobbiton and Middle-earth to life. Glowworm caves, Māori cultural traditions and the towering Southern Alps add to the sense of discovery that defines travel in New Zealand.

Unmissable Moments
Floating Fire & Ice: The Watershed Sauna Experience
After a day carving alpine runs, you’ll strip down and step into New Zealand’s first ever floating sauna on Lake Whakatipu. With views of snow-capped peaks and a cold plunge that’ll slap you awake – it’s the most peaceful, visceral, wild moment of the week.
Hāngi: A Traditional Māori Feast
A hāngi is a traditional Māori method of cooking food using heated stones buried in the earth. Meat and vegetables are wrapped and placed in the underground oven, where they slowly steam for several hours.
