A world anew: There’s a first for everything in New Zealand

A vacation can mean many things to many people, but what say those of us in Singapore? After two years of being grounded on the island, 48 per cent of Singaporeans – according to a survey by TripAdvisor – revealed they want something new and distinctive on their next holiday.

Drifting into the Waitomo Caves in the North Island, the last sight one expects are stars in the daytime. However, that is precisely the allure, as you enter remarkable caverns shimmering with glow-worms all over the natural limestone formations. You can encounter this bioluminescence in many ways: On a boat, floating on a tube, abseiling and zip-lining. But whichever you pick, this subterranean cosmos remains one of New Zealand’s most fascinating.

And while wine and beer are mainstays, why not experiment with mead? New Zealand has plenty of boutique mead-makers. Sip the mildly alcoholic honey-based brew at Beehave Craft Meadery or Borage & Bee Meadery, or buy it bottled like wine from Hexagon Mead.For a popular skiing destination, try Cardrona in the South Island. The hamlet is where many of New Zealand’s Olympic athletes trained, including multi-medallist Zoi Sadowski-Synnott.
