National Parks

New Zealand has 14 main National Parks which cover more than 30,000 sq kilometres as well as many Regional Parks which you can access for recreational purposes. New Zealand's National Parks are vast protected areas of our natural heritage, forest, wildlife and landscapes and are largely untouched by man. For beautiful, breathtaking scenery, explore our treasured wilderness areas in our National or Regional Parks throughout New Zealand. Seeing parts of these National parks is like seeing what life was like 1000's of years ago - natural and unspoiled.
