Tiki Touring's experts have brought you great
travel ideas on New Zealand since 2004. Where
to go, what to do and the places we believe are worth a visit. We have thousands of pages for you to discover New Zealand and plan your journey around her.
A beach or two, a lighthouse, a tidal lagoon, walking tracks and a big hill to climb - what more could you want to get away to? Oh, and there is plenty of fishing to be done as well.
New Zealand's capital has some great sights, but even more interesting is capturing the spirit of the place by tuning into its street vibe. Even the seemingly ordinary can be great.
We find the perfect place to recover from exploring the Franz Josef glacier region and it is the Rainforest Retreat resort. Amazing units, friendly staff and handy to everything.
Having a stroll through New Plymouth's city centre we came across some really cool murals and street art. So we kept moving along and found quite a collection within a short space of time. Check these images out.
Sit back and relax as Kiwi Rail takes you on an amazing journey through the majestic Southern Alps on its must-do service between Christchurch and Greymouth. A great day out amid beautiful alpine scenery.
It is hard not to enjoy yourself in the snow so imagine yourself 7000 feet up on the Southern Alps of New Zealand. Don't worry you don't have to climb there, just hop aboard a chopper and get whisked through and over an amazing white-clad landscape.
Enjoy the hunt for a big game fish in the waters off Rarotonga. Head outside the famed clear waters of the lagoon and test your skills against the instincts of big tuna, waahoo and marlin.
Swimming with large sea turtles is not an every-day occurrence so when you get the opportunity you need to grab it. Richard Moore took to the waters of Rarotonga for a rare encounter with turtles. His view: The creatures are majestic, peaceful and oh so totally beautiful dudes.
What began as a fun waka journey became so much more as we took a trip up the Waitangi River to a family marae. The good folk at Taiamai Tours then opened our eyes through a truly incredible cultural exchange.
A visit to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds in the Bay of Islands would not be complete without enjoying a Maori cultural performance there. Staged in the beautiful meeting house, this show will likely be a highlight of your visit.
Smash Palace near Ohakune in the Central Plateau of the North Island is where a multi-coloured collection of rusting vehicles has its final home. Interesting to look at, fascinating to photograph.
