Adventure Destinations: New Zealand

March 5, 2008

New Zealand has been in the press quite a bit over the past year. Adventurer’s eyes around the globe turned their attention to the country with the untimely death of their nation’s biggest hero–Sir Edmund Hillary. There is a lot more to New Zealand than just Sir Ed though, and it doesn’t take a great adventurer long to figure that out.

With geography spanning white to black sand beaches, mountains,
thermal mud pools and geysers, plains, forests, rivers and lakes,
and volcanic plateaux, New Zealand’s landscapes offer the outdoor
enthusiast an amazing array areas for exploration. In addition to
the great hiking along the scenic backdrops, New Zealand is known
for its love of adventure, both on land and in water. The Hamilton
Jet, the ski plane, bungee, blokart and Zorb are all examples of
Kiwi inventions that have pushed traditional boundaries of travel
and embody the Kiwi sense of adventure.
