Air New Zealand Brings You Right to the Adventure

Are you looking for thrills and adventure or eco-tourism on your next vacation? Let us give you reasons to make New Zealand your must have destination! Air New Zealand offers daily flights departing from the U.S. west coast and Canada, with connections to many domestic New Zealand locations. Here’s what you can look forward to if you vacation in the land known for Kiwis – a national bird, not just the fruit we know very well.

Adventure Experiences
New Zealand has many adventures for the thrill-seeker. You’ll notice there is a plethora of adventure experiences for anyone—from the sky, on land, or in the ocean. Put on that suit to sky diveand get the best views from up above, whether you’re floating through the air solo or tandem. You’ll find schools and drop zones all over New Zealand. How about flying to the top of a mountain and making your own way down powdery slopes as you embark on an ultimate Heli-ski adventure? Try out the Treble Cone, one of the largest ski areas on the South Island.

There is nothing like testing your strength and agility against the power of water as you experience river rafting. Let the water propel you through some awesome 360-degree spins as you come close to thundering falls and limestone caves in winding and twisting rapid rivers. Tap into your childhood memories and see if you’re still “down” for rolling down a hill but with a little twist, in the Ogo. In this completely mind-boggling, see-through plastic ball, you’ll reach speeds of over 30 miles per hour inside this cushioned sphere. Consider some other adventures such as scuba divingaround the marine reserves, mountain biking over cycle trails, kayaking along the coastline, going on a fishing safari to experience the thrill of the catch, and much more.

Eco-Tourism
Perhaps nature and wildlife is more your thing! Since New Zealand drifted away from the continent, unique flora and fauna has evolved. You'll also see unspoiled coastlines, playful dolphins, New Zealand fur seals, yellow-eyed and blue penguins, albatross,and other seabirds...a bird-watcher's paradise! Take a spin around the beaches, local islands, sea caves, and blow holes on small cruise vessels and view varied marine life as you snorkel and swim on an idyllic day.
