New Zealand is an island-country made up of 2 main islands — North Island and South Island. New Zealand’s stunning scenery had drawn many filmmakers to use the country as their film’s backdrop; with the most famous being Lord of the Rings.

The country’s North Island is largely made up of volcanoes and is also where its capital, Wellington is. If adventure is what you’re after, South Island is for you. The South Island has drastic mountainous landscapes, glaciers, and the adventure capital of the world — Queenstown.
