Hidden Gems of New Zealand

New Zealand’s landscape features unique geological and cultural sites beyond the major cities. This collection includes the limestone layers of Pancake Rocks, the geothermal springs of Hot Water Beach, and the massive Te Paki sand dunes. Coastal highlights range from the white stone arch of Cathedral Cove to Slope Point, the South Island's southernmost tip. Cultural stops include the mosaic-filled gardens of The Giant's House and the extensive Maori and colonial artifacts at Okains Bay.
