New Zealand’s amazing environment has long made it an adventure traveller’s destination of choice. Now it has found a whole new gear: luxury overdrive! To differentiate from the many good basic hotels, the very best lodges use helicopters to whisk you around, getting you off the beaten track and giving you a month’s worth of experiences in a week.

What it feels like to be there...

The Great Barrier Reef is an immense and beautiful natural wonder. Teeming with life and colour, it would take more than 10 hours to drive its length. The warm sea laps the white-golden sands of the surrounding islands and coasts, and jungle palms flutter and wave back at the giant clams and turtles in the shallows.

The Barrier Reef is one of the best places in the world to get a perfect aquarium-style underwater view.

What it feels like to be there...

Australia's 'Top End' wilderness region around the Kakadu National Park is a simply stunning wetland region, with miles of beautiful winding rivers, deciduous forests and sunny grasslands as far as the eye can see. Crocodiles laze on the banks, a menagerie of birds flit among the trees and buffalo roam the plains.

What the AdventureTemples travel community says…

The scale of the outback wilderness is difficult for modern urbanites to comprehend. With mile after mile of undisturbed natural beauty, it really is just you and a lazy crocodile or two, staring at the sun glinting off the serene scenery. You can fly in and out in minutes, but we recommend spending time travelling overland. Hour after hour of nature, with nowhere to be but here and now, is truly liberating.

Whichever major city you arrive in, there is a good cheap-flight service to all the others – just be aware how far apart they are when planning your trip.

Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch are the main airports, and after that the great road network makes travel to your end destination easy. While the climate offers a large number of sunshine hours for most of the year, it gets very cold in the mountains so buy your NZ Merino wool ‘undies’ before you head out of the city.   We'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.

Some practical information worth knowing…

Flights into the region typically land in Sydney, Melbourne or Auckland, but because of the wide geographical spread, all the big cities have international and regional airports these days. The weather in the tropical north is hot and humid, and while it is dry further south, it only really gets cool up in the mountains. English is the main language, but other European languages are not widely spoken because Japanese is the foreign language learnt in schools.   We'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.
