General info

Because New Zealand is so isolated, it inhabits a unique and diverse flora. About 10 to 15 % of New Zealand is still covered with the original flora, most of it consists of national parks. These parks are certainly worthwhile visiting. The best known plant is the Pohutakawa, which grows beautiful flowers in December. There's not much left of the original faun New Zealand has to offer because of the introduction of goats and pigs and so on. The only original mammal is the bat. There are still some birds, but they are nearly extinct. On the coastal lines you can find dolphins, whales, sharks, tuna and snappers, to name a few fish.

Tourism to New Zealand is mainly oriented upon the beautiful nature New Zealand has to offer.
