The Rough Guide to New Zealand is the definitive guide to the world’s adventure capital. Detailed accounts of every attraction, along with crystal-clear maps and plans, will show you the very best New Zealand has to offer — from white-sand beaches and vast kauri trees in the north to the hairline fiords and penguin colonies in the south. Expert writers give you the tips you need, for experiencing Maori culture and food, striking out on multi-day hikes, or tracking down Marlborough’s tastiest sauvignon blancs.

At every point this guidebook steers you to little-known sights, like secluded hot pools, as well as popular places to hang out, such as Wellington’s best cafés. Insider tips, planning itineraries, and author picks give you the inside scoop on the best accommodation across every price range.

Make the most of your time with The Rough Guide to New Zealand.
