Nelson, situated in the north of the south island of New Zealand has much to offer, from browsing a gallery, to munching some great food at a local coffee shop, to walking some of the best hiking trails in the country, sampling local wine, sailing, hurtling yourself out of a plane with a parachute and much more, Nelson is the place to be with azure skies, wide open spaces and water all around.

Abel Tasman was the first documented European explorer to have set foot onto the area in 1642 but the area was really inhabited some 700 years ago when the first Maori's arrived via boats.
