New Zealand has two main islands with sights of natural beauty. Now, the newly opened Te Araroa trail links many of those sites and offers a variety of sceneries to tourists.

Starting in Bluff, at the southernmost part of the trail on the South Island, visitors head north and enter the Otago region, which has grand mountains and river valleys. Queenstown sits along a beautiful lake and offers the chance to get a taste of adventure. White-water rafting, waterskiing, and jet boating are popular summer activities, while bungee jumping, skydiving, and horse riding are available all year.

Many tourists also go to this region to see sites made famous by the Lord of the Rings films. The location of Glenorchy, around 45 kilometers from Queenstown, provides the scenery for the fortress of Isengard. At nearby Paradise, you can see the setting of Lothlorien, the forest of the Elves. 

Further north is Mount Cook National Park, which has the tallest mountains and the largest glacier in New Zealand. Walking along one of the Park's ten trails, you may even be lucky enough to spot a kea, the world’s only alpine parrot.

紐西蘭有兩座擁有天然美景的主要島嶼。現在,最近開放的蒂阿拉羅瓦步道連接了當中許多景點,讓遊客飽覽各式各樣的景色。

遊客從位於南島步道最南端的班夫出發,向北進入歐塔哥區,這裡有雄偉的山脈和河谷。皇后鎮座落在一座美麗的湖畔,提供體驗探險的機會。急流泛舟、滑水和搭噴射汽艇是夏季的熱門活動,而高空彈跳、高空跳傘和騎馬則全年皆宜。

許多遊客也來這個地區參觀因《魔戒》系列電影而出名的地點。距皇后鎮約四十五公里遠的格藍諾奇提供了艾辛格塔要塞的場景。在附近的帕洛達斯,你可以看到精靈之森羅斯洛莉安的拍攝地點。

再往北走則是庫克山國家公園,這裡有紐西蘭最高的山脈和最大的冰河。沿著公園裡十條步道的其中一條漫步,你甚至可能會幸運地看到啄羊鸚鵡,這是全球唯一的高山鸚鵡。
