Map of New Zealand

New Zealand is less well trodden by the global backpacker than its neighbour Australia but just as unmissable a destination. Do not make the same mistake as many travellers and fail to take the short journey over from Australia. There is plenty of New Zealand accommodation available! The country itself consists of unbelievable beauty, especially the South Island – awe-inspiring glaciers, majestic mountains, crystal clear lakes and breathtaking fiords. The list of must visit destinations and natural wonders is endless: Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers , Milford and Doubtful Sounds , Mount Cook , Lake Taupo , The Remarkables, Auckland Sky Tower , the Coromandel Peninsula … New Zealand offers the backpacker everything.
