The North and South Islands are the most distinct places found in New Zealand. Both places can be visited at any time of the year m but the experience one may have will greatly depends upon the time of travel, but will be amazing none the less. The South is famous for its remains, thought to be existent from the ice age, containing the Glaciers Franz Joseph and Fox.

These Glaciers are thought to go directly through the rainforest and come up extremely close to sea level. The winter in the Alps is renown for its skiing experience and filmmaking, and was even used as a shooting site for the movie, The Chronicles Of Narnia.

If warmth is what you are looking for then the Northern Island is the place for you. The Northern Island is mostly known for its extreme sporting activities, and seeing as it is birthplace for the bungee jumping experience, it is sure to not be of disappointment. You can also travel further east, if an underwater activity is what you seek and desire, and to this date has never disappointed any scuba divers who have taken the path in experiencing what New Zealand has to offer in these regions. Opposite on the West Coast, one may take part in what is known as black water rafting, otherwise known simply as cave rafting, if this cannot get the blood flowing, then nothing will.

New Zealand is a place one can visit at any time of the year and still enjoy a thrilling experience, so do not be fooled, one does not have to wait until the dawn of summer to vacate and make the most of life.
