Here’s the 2nd of 10 Fantastic Reasons Why You Should Visit New Zealand

2. It’s the adventure capital of the world

To say that New Zealand is for daring travellers is quite an understatement. This country is perfect for fearless surfers who can brave the high waves, bungee jumpers with no fear of heights, thrillseekers with a knack for jumping off helicopters — okay, you get the idea. 

From heli-skiing in Wanaka to skydiving in cool tourist attractions like Auckland and the Bay of Plenty, you’ll find no shortage of exhilarating and heart-pumping activities to do across New Zealand. And for the wild ones at heart, there’s simply no better playground for adventurers than Queenstown! 

Whether you feel like bungee jumping from Kawarau Bridge or going river kayaking in Pelorus River — just like Bilbo Baggins and the dwarves, except without being chased by your mortal enemies — New Zealand boasts plenty of fun under the sun.

Meanwhile, the World Happiness Report places New Zealand as the eighth happiest country in the world. By examining what makes a healthy social environment, this report attributes happiness levels to the overall wellbeing of citizens. In New Zealand, people feel like they belong in their society and don’t feel as pressured to tough out hardships alone. 

Even now, New Zealand continues to set an example in promoting empathy and compassion for others, owing no doubt to the leadership of New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
