A private trip to New Zealand is an invitation to rediscover one's own roots, to rub shoulders with the culture of the Maoris, to discover the grandiose landscapes and the authentic nature of this Oceania country. Do you want to discover the filming locations of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings? Then opt for a self-drive tour in New Zealand or a combined: North Island / South Island.
New Zealand is a country in Oceania located south of the New Caledonia, two thousand kilometers from the coast ofAustralia. It is made up of several islands, the most important being the North Island, also called the Fumante Island, and the South Island or Jade Island. It is on these that we find most of the big New Zealand cities including Wellington (the capital), Auckland, Christchurch (the largest city), Hamilton, Tauranga or Dunedin.
The remoteness of these lands lost in the immensity of the Pacific Ocean makes New Zealand unique in many aspects, starting with its culture.
Despite the presence of other peoples on these islands, the Maoris settled there during the XNUMXth century. Their culture and customs are now part of New Zealand's identity. The haka, a ritual dance, is even famous around the world, notably thanks to the All Blacks, the nickname given to the players of the New Zealand rugby union team.
Go to New Zealand as part of a custom trip, for example for holidays or honeymoonis necessarily going back to basics. In fact, in this country of Oceania, nature reigns supreme, especially in Tongariro National Park, in the center of the North Island. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is New Zealand's oldest nature reserve. There are breathtaking landscapes, volcanoes, Mount Tongariro and many sites sacred to the Maori. A magical place that served as the backdrop for the “Lord of the Rings” saga.
Among the many remarkable sites, it is impossible not to mention Mount Cook, the highest point of New Zealand in the Aoraki Mount Cook National Park, the thermal waters of Rotorua, the Southern Alps, famous vineyards or the Waipoua Forest. and his giant kauris.
