New Zealand is a small country, about the size of Colorado or Japan. It has a population of only four million people so it’s gloriously uncrowded. With its spectacular landscape, including vast mountain chains, steaming volcanoes, sweeping coastlines, deeply indented fiords and lush rainforests. It is a haven for those seeking peace, rejuvenation and relaxation as well as a playground for thrill seekers and adventurers.
New Zealand’s maritime climate has a relatively small seasonal variation which makes it an ideal year-round holiday destination. The average temperature decreases as you travel south. The average maximum temperature ranges from 68-86°F. In the north, it’s sub-tropical and in the south it is clean and brisk. January and February are the warmest months; July is the coldest.
Auckland is an urban city where everyone lives within half an hour of beautiful beaches, hiking trails and a dozen enchanted holiday islands. Add a sunny climate, a background rhythm of Polynesian culture and a passion for outstanding food, wine and shopping - you’re beginning to get the picture of Auckland, New Zealand’s largest and most diverse city.
