Arguably, Aotearoa New Zealand’s most famous patch of sand, Cathedral Cove is renowned for its picture-perfect archway that frames a stunning beach of creamy white sand and bright emerald waters. As part of Te Whanganui-o-Hei Marine Reserve, a sanctuary for marine life, it is also an ideal spot for snorkeling and diving. 

 This wild black sand beach in the Waitākere Ranges is well worth a visit. Here you will find, behind the sand dunes, Lake Wainamu - a popular swimming alternative to the rough west coast surf. 

 There’s nowhere quite like it. Rotorua is famous for its geothermal sights—furious geysers, boiling mud, and sublime hot pools—but it is also a thriving center for Māori cultural experiences and an adventure playground for all things adrenaline and the great outdoors. 

 Famous for their abundance of glow worms, extensive underground river system and stunning stalactite and stalagmites formations, a trip to the Waitomo caves is a trip to another world.
