New Zealand is a natural marvel where untouched beauty can be found. Its people are mostly of European descent with a minority of Maoris of the Pacific.

Albatross colonies and fjords along with its beautiful towns and cities are its main features. New Zealand is a constitiuonal monarchy with a parliamentary democracy. It is one of the most recently settled major land masses.

The warmer months (November to April) are busiest, especially during the school holidays from December 20 to the end of January. Ski resort towns are obviously busier during the winter months.
