FCO Country Advice for New Zealand

New Zealand's has a spectacularly beautiful landscape and within a couple of days’ drive it’s possible to see lush rainforests, golden sandy beaches, steaming volcanoes, mountain ranges, glaciers and deeply indented fiords. The fact that New Zealand has been separated from the land for over 100 million years means that many species of ancient plants and animals have been able to survive intact. New Zealand really is a fascinating place and well worth a visit.

Weather
