Discovering New Zealand

Discovering New Zealand

GILI'S takes you this time to the end of the world, 24 hours by plane from Paris: heading to New Zealand!

With its 15,000 km of beaches and unique landscapes, New Zealand will surely captivate you!

Whether you are an athlete, a cinema lover, or simply looking for adventure, don’t hesitate to visit this wild land.

But what can you do?

The beach of Cathedral Cove offers a fascinating setting, famously featured in The Chronicles of Narnia.

Here, you can observe penguins in the morning and enjoy aquatic activities for the rest of the day.

Don't miss the kayaking excursion in Abel Tasman National Park—guaranteed wonder! ;-)

The Tongariro Alpine Crossing hike is an incredible trek, ranked among the most beautiful in the world. It takes you through an alpine desert, winding between volcanoes and alongside emerald lakes and steaming hot springs.

The breathtaking trail stretches for 19.4 km and is one of the best memories for tourists.

Why not get an adrenaline rush by trying skydiving?

You’ll be able to admire breathtaking landscapes from a whole new perspective around Queenstown, Abel Tasman, Taupo, or Franz Josef.

The hardest part is jumping, but the flight is worth it and will leave you with an unforgettable memory and an unparalleled sense of freedom!

Bucket List

If you are a movie fan, especially of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, you can visit the filming studios in Wellington.

Embrace the local culture and enjoy a cappuccino or latte in one of Wellington’s or Queenstown’s many cafés, whose cozy and modern décor will make you want to stay all day!

For thrill-seekers and lovers of unique activities, the Black Water Rafting and Glowworm Caves are must-dos in the North Island! Dive into the Waitomo caves and experience the magical natural lights emitted by tiny glowworms. Simply incredible!

Where to stay?

Disconnect, forget the world, and lose yourself in endless landscapes at the stunning Te Whau Lodge.

Wake up in the heart of nature, enjoy spectacular views, swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Hauraki Gulf, or relax at the spa...

The GILI'S team dreams of it—what about you?
