You have every reason to visit New Zealand. It\u2019s packed to the brim with sweeping mountain ranges, frosty glaciers, thick forests, dramatic coastlines and geothermal wonders. Its essence is breathed into life by the Maoris. Charm and welcome are baked into the soil, they dance in the air, they\u2019re captured in the Kiwis\u2019 smiles. The cities add their noisy melody to New Zealand\u2019s song. Rare birds, animals and marine life reveal themselves here. New Zealand is magical and marvellous. Like we\u2019ve said \u2013 you have every reason to visit New Zealand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What if we gave you even more?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Reasons, experiences and places you didn\u2019t know about. Well-kept secrets, little-known corners and sights and sounds unique to this land. This country may be 700 years old, but it will continue to surprise. Today, let\u2019s take a trip down a different path and discover the New in New Zealand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Waitomo Glow-worm Caves<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We expect the dark, damp and musty when we enter caves. What we don\u2019t expect, is a fairyland. This cave system, which accepts a stream of water into its bowels, is covered in a sky full of stars. Like the night sky pulled under the ground, the domes of these caves are lit by the soft glow of thousands of glow worms. Take a kayak, go tubing or canyoning on the ribbon of water that passes through these caves.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Wanaka Tree in Lake Wanaka, New Zealand<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There\u2019s something so still, so silent and so beautiful about a single tree rising from a still lake. It\u2019s that image and serenity that hits you when you visit Lake Wanaka. The barely rippling lake is framed by lush trees and the spearing Southern Alps. Take a walk along the beach-like shore of the lake, swim in the slightly chilly waters, spread a blanket out and have a picnic. Wait for the sun to start its slumber to sunset, when the light is low and colourful. The tree waits at the foothills of Mount Aspiring National Park. Don\u2019t forget to take a picture; after all, this is one of the most photographed trees in New Zealand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the land of the Maoris, one must eat like the Maoris \u2013 at least once. Hangi \u2013 the Maori method of underground cooking involves digging a large pit, placing stones in the pit and lighting a fire. In areas like Rotorua cooks use the hot springs in the area to heat the stones. Baskets of meat, starches and other food are placed on the hot stones and then covered with earth for hours, after which the baskets are uncovered. Today, there are modern ways to cook via the Hangi method, without the soil, leaves or stones. However, the food that emerges from the pit is tender, smoky, roasted and undoubtedly delicious.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To reach Narnia, you have to step into the cupboard. To experience Tunnel Beach, you must walk this tunnel. Five miles away from Dunedin, Tunnel Beach gets its name from the tunnel built by a local politician John Cargill in the 1870s. You\u2019ll need to trek for a while to reach the tunnel, which leads you down the 72 steps to the beach. This is not for the claustrophobic. The narrow tunnel is dark and will echo back your voice to you but breach the tunnel, and you\u2019ll find massive sandstone cliffs, rock arches, caves and a beach that is breath-taking in its beauty.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Whale Watching at Kaikoura<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
