Are you planning a trip to New Zealand with your partner and have started wondering how long you'll need? What you want to see and do will mostly dictate this - so let's dive into how long you will need to set aside to make your dream holiday to New Zealand a reality!
We're often asked - based on our experience, how long a trip to New Zealand should last - our answer? It depends on your schedule, what you want to experience, and what you want to get out of your holiday.
It may seem odd at first, but our approach to holiday itineraries is unique. Travelling to New Zealand the TravelEssence way means exploring the country at a relaxed pace, and spending a couple of days in each location.
Boasting many incredible regions, each with its own charm and unique character, we encourage holidays in New Zealand that enable you to uncover hidden gems and foster connections with locals - one-of-a-kind holidays that take you off the beaten path and provide you both with an experience that is as unique as you are.
So, if you'd like to find out the ideal length of time to visit this breathtaking country, read on!
Yes, that's right - you can visit New Zealand for two to three weeks and have a really good time.
Take it easy on your journey through New Zealand, as two to three weeks will give you enough time to visit one island at a relaxed pace. Or the chance to see a few of your favourite regions on both islands.
The key here is to spend less time driving and more time discovering and soaking in the best of what New Zealand has to offer.
Three to five weeks is ideal, and it will give you both the opportunity to stay in each location for two and five nights, check out regions a bit further afield, and embrace the laid-back lifestyle of New Zealand.
If you both dream of visiting both islands of New Zealand and checking out places such as Auckland, Bay of Plenty, Otago, and even Marlborough - or whether you want to visit the five major winery regions and stay in the middle of nature, we can make it happen for you.
It's all about making the most out of your time in New Zealand.
