What to Do and See in New Zealand

If you love landscapes and picturesque scenery, then it’s hard to go past New Zealand. In fact, the natural beauty of this country is what attracts Hollywood to film so many iconic films. To find out more, Brit Olom Tours has a great post to share.

The best place to start is with one of the most iconic movies filmed in New Zealand, The Hobbit, and its associated Lord of the Rings franchise films. Located in Waikato and known as Hobbiton, a guided tour will show you around the various movie sets and takes around two hours to complete, during which you can rest assured that you will see your fair share of Hobbit holes, with the tour allowing you to enter many of the leftover sets.

Of course, being in the southern hemisphere means that New Zealand experiences reverse seasons, leaving July to be a winter season. This means that, if you enjoy the cold weather and snow sports, then New Zealand has much to offer in the way of rich snow-worthy terrain, such as Cardrona Alpine Resort in the south island.

Of course, not content on just the snow, Rotorua offers visitors the opportunity to relax in thermal springs and also has its own snow sports facilities nearby such as skiing and snowboarding.

It can be easy to assume that the proximity of New Zealand and Australia means that the cultures are the same. However, the New Zealand culture is quite unique and independent and well worth learning about. From tribal Maori dances to traditional food preparation, a range of tours and a sense of adventure will allow you to immerse yourself in the Maori culture and learn more about a country which doesn’t see much global tourism.

Whether you want a vacation to take photos, you are looking to enjoy snow sports, or you just love learning about the world, New Zealand truly has everything you need. To find out more and to start your booking, speak with a friendly travel expert at Brit Olom Tours by calling 305-403-7548.
