I am here to tell you why you and your family should travel to New Zealand and not Alaska for their holiday. To start off, New Zealand has had over 2.4 million tourists coming and going with smiles on their faces and one of the reasons for that is our national parks cover 30,000 square kilometres with natural scenery. Alaska on the other hand, has only had 1.63 million tourists because of their cold weather and snow storms that cause frostbite.So I have decided to take part in convincing people to visit New Zealand for their family friendly holiday. The way I am going to do that is to tell you the three best ways to spend your holiday.Number 1# enjoy all the activities we have to offer, number 2# engage in the great weather, visit our native animals and plants, number 3# how to get around.
There are lots of amusing things to do in New Zealand from sports to scenery, the hardest thing to do is to choose what to do first. If you’re into extreme sports, skydiving, hot air ballooning, skiing, cycling, and hiking are only some of the thing you can do in New Zealand. If you want to relax, a scenic flight is what you need, for $230 you can fly from the Bay of Plenty to all the way across the Northland. Another way to capture moments with great scenery would be to visit any of the 250 Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogy locations. If you don’t feel like any of that why not whale watching? Or if that seems too boring, get a ticket to see New Zealand's rugby team (the All Blacks) beat every other team competing.
Of course to do all these things you need great weather which New Zealand has. Sometimes rain can interfere but usually it is sunny. Did you know, New Zealand would usually have around 2,000 hours of sun a year and daylight can last until 9:30? Sun isn’t the only thing that attracts tourists our native animals and plants do too. If you want to catch a glimpse of Kiwi before you leave, visit rainbow springs or you could try swimming with dusky dolphins at Kaikoura, see the Kea at Mt Cook, visit the tuatara also known as the tiny dinosaur. We have native plants as well, actually 80% of our flora in our forests are native, this 80% includes Kowhai trees, Rimu, The giant Kauri, and much more.
New Zealand is a lovely place, catching a plane or a ride on a cruise is a great way to travel here. There are exactly 29 airports that provide planes that can take you to and around the country. You could try crossing Cook Strait with bluebridge at the cost of $51 per adult. Other ways you can get around New zealand is to rent a Motorcycle, car, or even travel by train. There are themed highways that show lots of New Zealands best landscapes and scenes, It is a great way to keep the family awake on a trip.
One more reason of why you should come here is because you are less likely to die here, over in Alaska many people die from bear attacks, frost bite and even avalanches in the mountains.
If I were you I would consider staying longer because of all the time consuming activities New Zealand has to offer. I hope my story has persuaded you to travel to New Zealand for your holiday and not Alaska.
