New Zealand Intensive

The only city in the world built on an active basaltic volcanic field, Auckland’s warm, coastal climate allows for surfing at black-sand beaches, picnics in secluded coves, wine tasting and horseback riding. Bordered by the Tasman Sea, the Scottish-influenced city of Dunedin features many beautiful, white sandy beaches, the Otago Peninsula and wildlife unique to the area like the Little Blue Penguin and the Kiwi. The “we can’t believe how beautiful this is” town of Kaikoura is situated on a rocky peninsula with a backdrop of snow-capped mountains. The Māori name of Kaikoura translates to “meal of crayfish” (kai = food, koura = crayfish) for which the region is famous. And it’s this abundance of crayfish, combined with a complex marine system and rich habitat, which draws so many visitors here—humans and animals alike. In fact, you could call Kaikoura a marine mammal mecca, where sperm whales, fur seals, and dolphins live permanently, while migrating species like the rare Hector’s dolphins, humpback whales, and orca pop by for visits.
