About New Zealand
New Zealand’s two islands are divided by Cook Strait. The North Island boasts volcanoes, hot springs, mud pools, geysers, and beautiful beaches, while the South Island has rugged Alpine mountains, glaciers, and access to activities like swimming with dolphins and whale-watching. New Zealand has two predominant cultures: the European (or Pakeha) and the Maori. There is also a Pacific Island influence, a growing Asian culture and a plethora of other minority groups, which makes for a diverse mix of cuisine, music, art and architecture. Sports and the outdoors play a huge part in the life of a Kiwi.
