A bit about the country

General

New Zealand is famous for its gorgeous nature - geysers, mountains and lakes, forests and grottoes, glaciers and beaches. A widely developed environmental movement makes it possible to preserve all this splendor in an almost pristine state, even in areas of large cities. In addition to the most beautiful unique nature and a rich excursion program, the country has another very significant advantage in the eyes of a certain category of tourists - the well-deserved title of the birthplace of extreme and active tourism. Adrenaline is released into the blood even from simply listing the local entertainment: bungee jumping, skydiving and gliding, rap jumping and air surfing, as well as zorbing and much more. In New Zealand, you can watch whales, admire the mighty fjords and thousand-year-old glaciers, wander around cozy Wellington and bustling Auckland, or, who knows, learn English.
