New Zealand with its scenic landscapes seems to come straight out of a storybook. ‘The Lord of the Rings,’ movies were filmed here. Take in the indigo lakes, swift rivers, rock-strewn mountains, powerful geysers and massive glaciers. New Zealand offers a range of leisure and recreational activities, making it an ideal place to hike. Put your skiing skills to test at the Alps or pump up your adrenaline with bungee-jumping, paragliding, sailing through parachute and jet boat. Enjoy the sea and the sand at the beautiful rivers and lakesides in Christchurch. For the ballooning enthusiasts this is the place to be. You can enjoy the views of the splendid mountains, ocean and the green farmlands as you rise up in the air. Adventure rides or quiet museum tours, great shopping or gallery hopping, casinos or bird sanctuaries – which way would you like to discover the beauty of this place?
