NEW ZEALAND’S BEST starts with essential TRIP-PLANNING information and an overview of key REGIONS and DESTINATIONS so you can decide where to stay.

A hand-crafted ITINERARIES section then offers first-timers a six different easy-to-follow routes to explore the country. One of the itineraries focuses mainly on HIKING, another on WINE - two of the countries biggest attractions.

There’s much more on these two in the INTERESTS & ACTIVITIES, the next app section, which gives you the heads-up based on your interests. If you’re travelling with KIDS or heading to NZ for WINTER SPORTS then you might just dive straight into the app here. Other categories include ART & CULTURE, BEACHES, CYCLING, HISTORY, LORD OF THE RINGS, NATIONAL PARKS and OUTDOOR ADVENTURE – which covers the many oddball outdoor activities Kiwi’s specialise in, from bungy jumping through rafting to zorbing.

Finally the app suggests good RESTAURANTS, CAFES & PUBS near many key sights and details NZ’s budding CRAFT BREWERY scene. There’s also a little on SHOPS & SHOPPING to help with souvenir hunting.
