New Zealand is home to many breathtaking natural wonders, and glaciers are a part of that never-ending list. If you ever find yourself on this magical island and decide to go glacier hunting, here are three popular attractions that deserve a spot on your bucket list.

Franz Josef Glacier

Westland Tai Poutini National Park is home to many stunning spots, but none of them compares to Franz Josef Glacier, also known as Kā Roimata o Hine Hukatere. It’s one of the most popular attractions of New Zealand’s West Coast since it’s easier to access than most other glaciers in the country, with many hikes and helicopter rides offered by local companies.

Fox Glacier

Located just 20 km away from Franz Josef, Fox Glacier aka Te Moeka o Tuawe also became a major tourist attraction due to its easy access. They’re both located as low as 300 meters above sea level, which makes them easier to navigate than most other glaciers in the world.

Tasman Glacier

Located in the heart of the Mount Cook National Park, this is the largest glacier that New Zealand has in store. Skiing tours and boat tours among its icebergs are popular activities in this area, and Tasman Glacier is only one of several glaciers located here since they cover 40% of Mount Cook.

Let’s talk honeymoons. The romance, the excitement of starting a new chapter with the love of your life—it’s all so magical. The only question is where to go. At the end of the day, you want a destination that fits your personality and a bit of magic to this new season. Here are a few great destinations to consider.

Santorini, Greece

For a honeymoon that combines stunning landscapes with a laid-back vibe, Santorini is the place to go. This Greek island is famous for its whitewashed buildings with blue domes, overlooking the crystal-clear Aegean Sea. Spend your days lounging on black sand beaches, exploring charming villages like Oia and Fira, and enjoying fresh seafood at seaside tavernas. 

Bora Bora, French Polynesia

If a tropical paradise is more to your taste, Bora Bora is a beautiful honeymoon escape. This island is famous for its crystal-clear turquoise waters, overwater bungalows, and stunning coral reefs. Enjoy snorkeling with vibrant marine life, and relaxing on the beach. The epitome of chill!

Paris, France

Is there anything more iconic than spending your honeymoon in the city of love? Stroll hand-in-hand along the Seine, steal a kiss under the Eiffel Tower, and enjoy intimate dinners at charming bistros hidden in quaint alleyways. It’s a bit of a cliche, but for a good reason!

Australia is one of the most popular travel destinations across the world.

Papua New Guinea (PNG) isn’t your typical tourist destination. But if you’re looking for an off-the-beaten-path adventure unlike any other, PNG is a gem worth exploring. Here are three reasons why Papua New Guinea should be your next adventure.

Pristine Coral Reefs and Unforgettable Wildlife

PNG boasts some of the most biodiverse coral reefs on the planet. Teeming with vibrant fish, unique marine life, and even shipwrecks to explore, scuba diving and snorkeling in PNG are experiences you won’t find anywhere else.  Beyond the reefs, PNG’s lush rainforests are home to incredible creatures like the vibrantly colored Birds-of-Paradise, tree kangaroos that defy gravity, and even the elusive cassowary, a flightless bird known for its prehistoric charm.

Journey Through Time

PNG is a land of rich cultural heritage. Over 800 distinct indigenous tribes call PNG home, each with their own unique language, traditions, and customs. Here, you can explore remote villages, learn about age-old practices like sago starch production, and gain a deeper appreciation for the diversity of human experience.

Hike Through Breathtaking Landscapes

Ascend Mount Giluwe, PNG’s second-highest peak, and be rewarded with panoramic views of untouched wilderness. Cruise through untouched archipelagos. Kayak through tranquil lagoons. Or simply relax on pristine black sand beaches – the possibilities for exploration are endless.
