New Zealand Vacations: Fjords & Forests

New Zealand is a land of lush forests, glacier-covered peaks, and beautiful beaches. Travel for the scenery, and explore the charming cities—from Auckland in the north to Wellington and Christchurch in the south. Lord of the Rings fans can discover the natural setting where the movies were filmed. Enjoy a warm Māori welcome and visit a marae—a Māori meeting place—where you can watch a war dance and learn about Māori art and culture. Visit a winery, take a scenic hike through a breathtaking national park, or find a beach to call your own with the help of your Liberty Travel vacation consultant.
