With dramatic, dazzlingly diverse scenery and culture-rich cities pulsing with rhythm, America’s allure for travellers is legendary. For those looking for an adventure into the wilderness, a once-in-a-lifetime journey or epic mountains adventures, look no further than western Canada.

Colourful islands, rich culture, beautiful beaches and extraordinary food make the Caribbean and Mexico rewarding, varied and easy to explore.

The South Island’s untamed west coast stretches like a dramatic frontier, a place where rainforests meet glaciers and mountains plunge straight into the ocean. Further south lies Fiordland, part of the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage Area, famed for its deep fjords, towering peaks and cascading waterfalls.

Cradled by rugged hills and a sweeping harbour, Dunedin is a blend of New Zealand charm, Scottish heritage and wild nature. Further south, the Catlins sits across Otago and Southland, dramatic and sparsely populated, with sea cliffs, blowholes, hidden waterfalls, and remote beaches where rare yellow-eyed penguins and sea lions frolic. A short flight from Invercargill or a ferry ride from Bluff across the Foveaux Strait lies Stewart Island - or Rakiura. A forest-cloaked sanctuary where over 85% of the land is protected national park.
