Island Escapes
Lots of small islands around this island country, providing ample opportunities for offshore escapes.
An interesting aspect here is that small islands can be turned into predator-free sanctuaries for flightless birds and others that are close to extinction.
In particular, Tiritiri Matangi Island in the Hauraki Gulf, near Auckland, and Ulva Island at Stewart Island / Rakiura make excellent islands to visit and walk around to see native birdlife. Also consider a visit to Kapiti Island, near Wellington.
