Explore three mind-blowing places in New Zealand

The raw, untamed beauty of New Zealand needs no introduction. Well, that plus it's difficult to describe the sheer variety of landscapes in this unspoiled terrain. Here are three beautiful spots the Land of the Long White Cloud has to offer:

  1. Waitomo Caves

    Imagine drifting through the inky darkness of an underground river by boat. Thousands of tiny lights spring to life as you pass underneath. Get the picture? Bioluminescent organisms thrive on the ceiling of these caves and create a spectacle unlike any other.

  2. Pacific Coast Highway

    There are a number of coastal highways that boast pristine views. Few can compete with the raw majesty of the Pacific Coast Highway on the North Island. Golden coastlines, untouched rainforests and an active volcano turn this highway into one epic trip.

  3. Bay of Islands

    This crown jewel on the North Island is a paradise. Relax on stunning beaches. Admire giant rock formations. And spot wildlife you won't see anywhere else. Don't pass up this portion of New Zealand. Locum tenens doctors with a love for the sea should check out a sailing trip around the Bay. It's unforgettable.

Keep in mind, there are plenty more mind-blowing places to explore than just these. In fact, you can turn anywhere in New Zealand and find something spectacular. Take a locum tenens assignment and see for yourself. After, feel free to write your own top-three list.
