Editorial Reviews

New Zealand is a beautiful and diverse country with a climate ranging from the sub-tropical to the sub-zero. It is a land of adventure.

This amazing journey begins at the bottom of the North Island, Wellington, New Zealand's capital. We then visit Napier, one of the sunniest regions in New Zealand, a City renowned for its beauty and Art Deco buildings, travelling up to the Bay of Plenty area of Mt Maunganui, Taupo, Rotorua and The Hidden Valley, experiencing the amazing geothermal formations, steaming cliffs and spouting geysers. We then continue our journey to Auckland City, the City of sails, and the surrounding area of Piha and Muriwai, the renowned black sand surf beaches. Continuing our adventure up towards the top of the island visiting numerous places of beauty on the way. We spend some time in the romantic township of Russell, once known as the "Hell Hole of the Pacific"; now a place of tranquillity. We also visit the fantastic beaches on the Doubtless Bay coastline, which was named by Captain Cook as he sailed by aboard the Endeavour. We complete our North Island journey at Cape Reinga lighthouse, the furthest point north. 

We begin our South Island journey at the top of the island, from the bustling Port of Picton, working our way down and visiting places such as Nelson, which is sometimes referred to as the hippy town. Moving on to Kaikoura (which is famous for its whale watching sightings). We also visit Christchurch (known as the Garden City), visiting the charming settlement of Akaroa. We also experience some of the stunning scenery of Arthur's Pass and the Glaciers. We spend a little time at the historical City of Dunedin, seeing some of the amazing wildlife, which is within close proximity of the city. We take in the beaty of Queenstown and the quaint historic gold-mining town of Arrowtown, not forgetting the amazingly stunning Milford Sounds. Our New Zealand journey finishes up at the remote Stuart Island - which is a nature paradise.

There are many more interesting places that you will visit on this Amazing journey, there is something for everyone. This DVD summarises the regions as we travel through, giving you a fantastic idea of what New Zealand has to offer for a wide range of tastes, experiencing a little of New Zealand's culture on the way.

This review is from: An Amazing Journey - A New Zealand Travel DVD (DVD)

I was disappointed by this DVD. The narrator had a very flat boring voice and the DVD was fairly short for what I was expecting. Tried to get my son and husband engaged to watch and they were both underwhelmed. I also bought "Kiwi Country New Zealand" which was far superior and contained alot more quality video and exciting narration and video.
