Traveler's Companion New Zealand explores the ever-changing coastline, subtropical rainforests, glacial lakes, alpine mountains, dense glaciers, and smouldering volcanoes and geysers, as well as the relaxed ambience of this faraway nation - predominantly a mixture of Europeans, Maori and Polynesians - whose unpretentious and friendly hospitality adds much to the charm of New Zealand.
