New Zealand is a land of unspoilt landscapes and immense natural beauty, with amazing extremes of climate and terrain. From rainforest to reef and glacier to volcano, Globe Trekkers Ian Wright and Zay Harding explore the four corners of the country. As they head out on individual expeditions of New Zealand, they take in Maori cultural heritage, empty wilderness, and bustling cities where even the skyscrapers are home to some of the world s most extreme sports. Ian Wright sets off from Auckland to visit the hot springs of Rotorua and then heads north to the Bay of Islands. He travels to genteel Christchurch before heading to New Zealand s extreme sports capital, Queenstown. Ian s journey ends with an overnight stay atop the Fox Glacier while Zay Harding s begins in the capital, Wellington. He travels to the nearby town of Masterton to participate in a sheep shearing competition before taking the Tranzalpine train to Hokitika and the Wild Foods festival. Zay s journey ends with a retreat into the wilderness of Lake Te Anau and a two day trek along the Milford Track. Along the way... Attend a Maori regatta in Ngaruawhaia. Hitch a ride in a 1950s house truck. Enter the mysterious world of The Lord of the Rings. Play a game of rugby with the Black Ferns.

Meh
Cheesy, and wow - a giant advertisement for companies providing tours in New Zealand. Can't find a nice travel video of NZ that gives an overall scenic view of the country, with an emphasis on Auckland.

Disappointing
I wish I hadn't bought this DVD. I thought it would be a travel programme along the lines of the BBC. Instead it was a very amateurish production, presented in a juvenile manner and the photography was very poor. Moreover, it does not do justice to its subject and one could easily be put off visiting this beautiful country. I bitterly regret my purchase. DO NOT BUY!!

A good DVD, only fault a bit short on a subject that must take longer than 55 minutes to cover, as it was about both islands. Ian Wright does make the tour interesting.
