新西兰有着众多的原始森林、白雪覆盖的壮丽山峰、宏伟的峡湾以及咆哮的火山,难怪片者会选择在这里拍摄《指环王》三部曲。
强壮的漫游者可以通过攀登险峻的山路、穿越通向世界末日的荒凉的火山地区来重温《护戒使者》中的情景。如果还想更刺激的话,这里还有惊险无比的极限运动,从白水河漂流和快艇冲浪到蹦极和空中跳伞,应有尽有。
对那些喜欢宁静和平和的旅游者来说,新西兰也有很多好去处———一望无垠的田野、壮丽的海岸线和无数可以坐享惊人美景的幽静之所。更有让人垂涎的美食和葡萄酒。如果有两个星期或更长的时间,比较好的游览路线是:从北岛的奥克兰出发,然后驱车到惠灵顿,再乘渡船到南岛。从基督城乘飞机回家之前,享受一下女王城摄人魂魄的美景。
除奥克兰外,其附近还有许多地方让人流连忘返、值得一看。到南面的怀特摩去看看。隐藏在山地之中的怀特摩萤火虫岩洞,让人回味无穷。你可以一边在幽暗的地下湖中静静地漂流,一边欣赏光影闪烁的奇景。
芬塞德是一个浪漫的理想去处,从惠灵顿北部驱车一小时左右即到。它是一座经过修复的古老宅子,保留着殖民时期的宽敞卧室,为游人提供豪华的床榻和一日三餐。在南岛的中部,矗立着周围环绕着巨大冰川的新西兰最高峰———海拔3764米的库克山。
