New Zealand From Above

We travel to the Southern Alps in the Central South Island and discover how the dramatic high alpine landscape was carved by glaciers.

The west coast boasts a pristine environment or forests and rivers. On the east coast, whales are spotted. We fly to Christchurch and onto the northern region of the South Island.

We cross from the South to the North Island, flying over Cook Strait and Wellington to the centre of the North Island. We view from above volcanoes, mud pools, and geysers.

We continue towards the Far North passing Auckland and see the harbor. We meet a craftsman who creates instruments from Kauri timber and learn about Maori creation mythology.
