MARLBOROUGH, NEW ZEALAND - It’s hard to decide which is better — New Zealand’s wine or the breathtakingly beautiful scenery in the regions where the grapes are grown.

AUCKLAND - While there are plenty of ways to get around in New Zealand, one of the most fun is on two wheels. With so many options – motorcycle tours, biking in a wine region, or riding the New Zealand Cycle Trail — visitors can lift their feet off the ground and check out the sights, sounds and magic of the country.

AUCKLAND - Going on vacation always seems like a bit of a splurge, no matter what your budget. And for many, New Zealand is the ultimate tick off the bucket list that requires a great commitment of time and cash. While there are plenty of budget and reasonably-priced places to stay on both the North and South Islands, there is a growing trend for even the most budget-conscious visitors to take a night or two and indulge themselves by staying at one of the country’s nicer lodges or hotels.
