New Zealandis a country of marvellous and diverse natural beauty: jagged mountains, rolling pasture land, steep fiords, pristine trout-filled lakes, raging rivers, scenic beaches, and active volcanic zones.The country geographically comprises two main landmasses – that of theNorth Island, orTe Ika-a-Māui, and theSouth Island, orTe Waipounamu– and numerous smaller islands.The country also often adds an adventure twist to nature: it's the original home of jet-boating through shallow gorges, and bungy jumping off anything high enough to give a thrill.
