Best travel time

As you may already know, the seasons in New Zealand are the opposite of Europe. We recommend travelling in shoulder seasons (spring and autumn) to get the most out of your holiday, but this completely depends on your interests.

Travelling in spring offers plunging waterfalls, blooming flowers and newly born animals. With fewer crowds and mild temperatures. Do you love snow-sports? Winter would be a great time to travel to experience life up the mountain. Autumn has stable temperatures, perfect for hiking and kayaking. Warm and inviting colours can be adored.

The summer months are the busiest, with not only international visitors but also New Zealanders on their summer holidays. They love to spend time outdoors at lakes, beaches and in national parks. We recommend travelling outside of these months.

How long can you spend in New Zealand?

The NZeTA - New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority is valid for up to two years. As a British citizen, you can travel through New Zealand for up to six months at a time. If you would like to stay longer, it is possible but you will need to apply for another type of visa. We can advise you further about this when we sit down together.

The North Island

Why should you visit the North Island and not the South Island? Both islands offer spectacular nature, world-class wineries, beaches and endless things to do and see. However, in the North Island the Maoritanga, the Maori way of life is very much alive. It is where the vast majority of New Zealand’s Maori people reside and therefore, has a wealth of local culture to be uncovered.

The North Island is also home to three-quarters of the country’s population which makes it a vibrant and interesting place with many things going-on. The North Island is a true gem with all the ingredients to experience a trip of a lifetime.
