Frommer’s books aren’t written by committee, by A.I., or by travel writers who simply pop in briefly to a destination and then consider the job done. We use seasoned, locally-based journalists who have checked out all of New Zealand’s best hotels, attractions, shops, wineries, and restaurants in person, and offers authoritative, candid reviews that will help you find the venues that suit your tastes and budget, whether you’re a backpacker or on a romantic honeymoon. Most importantly, Frommer's is not shy about telling you what you should see…and what you can skip without regret.
This full-color book includes scores of photographs, a fold-out map, plus detailed maps throughout; and shows exact pricing, opening hours, addresses, and other important details that will make your trip smoother and less hectic. It features 6 smartly conceived itineraries, geared towards travelers who have different amounts of time in country, as well as specific interests. There is also fastidiously researched information on all of the outdoor adventures New Zealand offers. From bungee jumping to spectacular hiking, kayaking, zorbing, jetboating, and more, we cover it all, and give our take on the most responsible outfitters to use for these activities. Last but not least, the book includes fascinating information and insights on the history and unique culture of the land that’s known both as Aotearoa and New Zealand today.
