  New Zealand offers something for everyone, with its spectacular scenery and endless activities. The North Island boast the mighty 1200-year-old kauri trees, semitropical forests, and miles of island-strewn coastline of Northland and the Coromandel Peninsula are a perfect counterpoint to Auckland, New Zealand's largest city. The South Island is picture postcard New Zealand, where the country's tallest mountains are reflected in the crystal-clear lakes and sheer rock faces tower above fjords. The choice of activity is yours. You can enjoy some of the world's most dramatic views in complete peace and quiet or leap from one adrenalin rush to the next. This new edition features coverage of the latest local trends and top spots and has a jam-packed Smart Travel Tips A-Z section, with essential local contacts and great advice, from how to take your mountain bike with you to what to do in an emergency. Plus, web links and mix-and-match itineraries make planning easy. Fodor's New Zealand shows you hundreds of hotel and restaurant choices in all price ranges, from budget-friendly B&Bs to luxury hotels, from casual eateries to the hottest new restaurants, complete with detailed reviews showing what makes each place special. In addition, it lists the latest sights and activities and up-to-date options for shopping and nightlife.
