This newly revised edition of National Geographic's comprehensive New Zealand guide brings the visitor attractions, museums, hotels, restaurants, and ski resorts of this dynamic country right up to the moment. The Christchurch chapter has been fully updated to reflect the recovery and rebuilding after the earthquakes of 2010 and 2011, and a new two-page experiential feature on traveling the Great Rides cyclist trails of New Zealand has been added. Travel information tips for Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Canterbury, and excursions around all the islands have all been updated, featuring new activities. Walks in Auckland and Dunedin, as well as a Tongariro Alpine crossing, are also provided, along with suggested drives around the East Cape and through the Catlins; all include maps and reservation details. Informative features take the traveler "In Pursuit of the Rings," into the realm of a wildlife wonderland, and high up into New Zealand's ski country and glaciers. And, of course, the latest on the conquering All Blacks--2015 Rugby World Cup winners--is lovingly chronicled.
