It is somewhat unfortunate that the furthest possible place from America is one of the most diverse, beautiful, and astonishing countries on the entire planet. There may not be a more suitable place in the world than New Zealand for a nature-loving traveler.
It would be practically impossible to see everything New Zealand has to offer in one trip without moving there, which majority of people desire to after spending time on these majestic islands. There is so much scenery available to see including beaches, mountains, lakes, volcanoes, ice glaciers, caves, forests, wildlife, and waterfalls that there would never be a dull moment traveling through. Places like Lake Tapeko, Glacier Hot Pools, Milford Sound, Steward Island, Waitomo Caves, and a multitude more offer breathtaking views of New Zealand.
New Zealand is also a great place for culture-seeking travelers in order to learn about the intriguing Maori group. There is an abundance of museums and art galleries as well as performing arts available for tourists to be exposed to the Maori culture. Also, there is Tane Mahuta to check out, which is a gigantic tree, the largest in New Zealand, which the Maori's believe to be the Lord or Father of the Forest.
Even though New Zealand is known for its beautiful scenery, there are also a couple of energetic cities with countless activities to do. The largest city by far in New Zealand is Auckland, which is built around two vast harbors. In Auckland there are amazing black-sand beaches on the coast as well as the Sky Tower, which is the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere.
The next biggest city is Wellington, New Zealand's capital, which is the world's southernmost capital city of a state. A unique activity in Wellington is Zealandia, which is an eco-sanctuary for New Zealand's rare wildlife. Even in the two largest cities, the main attractions are still in the great outdoors!
