New Zealand Tour & Vacation Packages

People love to throw around the phrase ‘natural beauty’. Then they go to New Zealand.

The ‘Land of the Long White Cloud’ – it’s a classic Kiwi understatement if there ever was one. And while most travelers are drawn to New Zealand for those epic experiences out in nature – the open spaces, the dusted peaks, the lakes that pop with blue and make a mockery of Instagram filters – that stuff is just the tip of the glacier. From the feather-clad harbingers of Maoritanga to the happening backstreets of Wellington and Dunedin, to the natural beauty of Milford Sound , this country jumps with vitality in more ways than simply geological. Come for the epic trails and bubbling geysers, stay for the friendliest folk in the southern hemisphere.

Best time to visit new zealand.

The most pleasant time for traveling throughout New Zealand is summer (December to February); however, this is also the busiest period, especially during school holidays (late December to late January). Winter can get very cold with frequent snowfall - but this is the perfect time to travel if you’re looking to ski or snowboard, particularly in the South Island. Read more about the best time to visit New Zealand

Culture and customs

Modern New Zealand is home to a diverse blend of people from far and wide. Maori, Pacific Islander, European and Asian influences blend peacefully to create a vibrant culture. Known for being friendly, down-to-earth, laidback and open, most visitors will find New Zealanders from all ethnicities to be helpful, approachable, generous and up for a laugh. 

Maori culture has its origins in Polynesia so some aspects of Maori language, customs and traditions are quite similar to those of neighboring islands. With strong traditional values based on respect for the family, ancestors and the land, Maori culture is hierarchical and steeped in centuries of tradition. Maori families typically come together for special occasions, celebrations and ceremonies filled with sacred dance, spiritual song and traditional food.

Visitors will see traditional Maori art and carving almost everywhere they go in New Zealand, from elaborate tattooing to carved necklaces. Although Maori culture experienced a decline after the arrival of European settlers, it experienced a renaissance of sorts in the 1960s, which continues to grow today.

Eating and drinking

With award-winning wineries, quality craft-beer bars, a world-class restaurant scene and a multitude of farmers' markets, eating in New Zealand is a real treat. Its Pacific location gives it an interesting mix of flavors, as European influences mesh with Asian and Polynesian.

When it comes to food – or kai , in the Maori language – there’s nothing quite like tucking into a traditional hangi dinner. It’s a hearty repast, fit for a warrior, cooked underground on heated rocks. Today’s hangi feast most often comprises slow-roasted meats, potatoes and stuffing, though there are many variations.

At the other end of the spectrum, there’s the seafood. The locals are spoiled for choice on this front – being an island nation definitely has its advantages. Fresh prawns, lobster, mussels and oysters are in abundance all year round, but fish and chips on the beach can be just as satisfying, especially for those on a budget.

Must-try food and drink in New Zealand

1. Wine & craft beer

Producing a huge variety of top-quality wines (many more than just the famous Sauvignon Blancs), New Zealand is full of vineyards and cellar doors to visit. Microbreweries are well represented too; the Kiwis more than pull their weight in the global small-batch craft beer movement, especially in Wellington.

2. Crayfish

There are plenty of places to try crayfish, but Kaikoura, near the top of the South Island, is the best. This sperm whale-watching capital of the world was in fact named after the crayfish (Kaikoura translates to ‘eat crayfish’ in Maori), and there’s a slew of places along the beach to sample the day’s fresh catch.

With sheep playing a huge part in New Zealand’s agricultural economy, it’s no wonder succulent lamb can be found in most restaurants. If you’re a meat lover, don’t leave New Zealand without tasting the lamb (if you’re indulging in a hangi feast, chances are you will).

4. Kiwis, Feijoas & Tamarillos

Though none of them actually originated in New Zealand (Kiwis came from China; Feijoas and Tamarillos came from South America), these fruits have become synonymous with New Zealand and are all fairly major exports. While kiwi fruit is well known to most of us, it’s the feijoas and tamarillos you should take advantage of while in New Zealand. Abundant, versatile and an acquired taste, they pop up everywhere from roadside stalls to front-garden giveaways to gourmet cafe dishes.

Even though the creator of this desert is hotly contested by their trans-Tasman cousins, the pavlova – a dessert with a meringue-like base and topped with whipped cream and fresh fruit - was the invention of a Wellington chef to honor Russian ballet dancer Anna Pavlova's tour of Australia and New Zealand in the 1920s. It’s a must-try for sweet tooths.

Top 10 wine regions of New Zealand

1. marlborough.

New Zealand’s wine capital produces top quality chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot gris but it’s the sauvignon blanc that has achieved cult status around the world. Also producing first-class seafood and olive oil, Marlborough is a fave with foodies and wine lovers.

2. Canterbury

With the ideal climate for grape growing, Canterbury produces many internationally acclaimed wine varieties, including pinot noir, pinot gris, chardonnay and Riesling. Pegasus Bay Winery is one of the most popular in this area, and with a restaurant attached to the winery visitors can indulge in the complete culinary experience.

3. Bay of Plenty

This picturesque area may be well known for its pristine beaches, but it’s also got a few small wineries well worth visiting. Surrounding berry farms, orchards and lavender fields add to the charm.

4. Auckland

There are many boutique wineries creating note-worthy drops in and around Auckland. Kumeu, Henderson and Waiheke Island are hotspots for wine tourism – with awarded wines coming from many small, up-and-coming estates.

5. Central Otago

Spectacular mountain ranges, azure lakes and rolling rivers combine to create one of the world's most scenic wine regions. The vineyards of Central Otago produce a wide range of grapes, but the pinot noir is considered the best.

6. Northland

Way up north, the vineyards populating the historic Northland area produce a wide range of reds and whites. From iconic chardonnay to the more complex chambourcin and exotic syrah, there are loads of cellar doors waiting to welcome you.

7. Hawke’s Bay

New Zealand’s oldest wine-growing region also produces most of New Zealand’s most sustainable wines. This commitment to sustainability in the industry has garnered worldwide attention, as has its bold, full-bodied reds. The Art Deco town of Napier is well worth a visit too.

8. Gisborne

If you like your wines a little fruity then the Gisborne region will impress. Merlot, gewurztraminer, syrah and chardonnay are among the best on offer in this region, which is on the same parallel as Malaga and Melbourne.

Winemaking is considered an art form in cultured Nelson. With many unique producers in the region, it won’t be hard to find some smooth wines to savor. Local delis, cafes, providores and galleries add to the artistic, gastronomic mix.

10. Wairarapa

This relatively small winemaking region is made up of three sub-regions: Martinborough, Masterton and Gladstone. Although only a small amount of New Zealand's wine is produced here, the quality is superb with a great track record in pumping out world-class pinot noir.

Top experiences in New Zealand

7. Come alive to Maoritanga in Rotorua

Geysers erupt on the hour in this hotbed of Maori culture, and the locals are only too eager to share their culture and traditional lands.

Learn more about Maori culture

With a nice little mix of malls, boutiques, galleries, fresh produce markets, cellar doors and providores, New Zealand has enough variety to keep most keen shoppers happy. Look beyond the tourist shops selling stuffed toys and flags and dig a little deeper to find unique art, locally-made crafts and gourmet goods.

It’s a good idea to check with your local customs officials to ensure that you are able to bring certain items back into your home country. Australia and New Zealand generally have strict quarantine laws.

Things to buy in New Zealand

1. Tasty treats

New Zealand is home to many producers of fine food. Home-grown wine, olive oil, honey, jam and avocado oil are among the best picks.

With a huge sheep population, the quality and variety of wool is superb in New Zealand. As well as the classic Merino option, consider buying some gloves or socks made from possum wool – it’s durable, warm and a good environmental choice (the possum population poses a major threat to the endangered Kiwi bird).

3. Art and handicrafts

From ceramic bowls to metal sculptures, woodcarvings to greenstone jewelry, you'll find traditional Maori techniques and influences in many of New Zealand’s art and crafts. Try to find authentic, locally made items rather than imported (and inferior!) goods.

Geography and environment

Sitting in the South Pacific Ocean, this island nation is split in two – comprising two major landmasses surrounded by several smaller islands. And while there are many natural similarities between the two islands, they each have their own geographical and environmental character.

The mountainous South Island is larger, and its scenery unfolds on a grand scale. One of its crown jewels is Mt Cook, which is both the highest peak in the country and one of the most stunning sights. Fiords, glaciers, rugged bush and rocky coast are also major features of the South Island, and the differences between the likes of Franz Josef Glacier and the rugged Catlins Coast show the island’s great diversity.

The North Island, on the other hand, is more volcanic, though it has three times the population of the south. Typical features include bubbling lakes and mud pools, and geysers that erupt regularly (and spectacularly). The North Island is great for a hike or zip-line through untouched virgin native forests, with large national parks and reserves preserving the nation’s heritage bushland and the iconic Kiwi bird.

History and government

Early history.

Maori tribes, descended from Polynesia, lived in New Zealand for centuries before the arrival of Europeans in the 18th century. Relying on fishing, hunting and foraging, these people were able to live off the land and develop a deep connection with the earth as a result of this.

European settlers caused wide-scale disruption and land loss for the Maoris, which resulted in conflict and displacement in the early days of colonization. The 1840 Treaty of Waitangi officially recognized Maori land ownership, of which the British and Maoris were signatories. This historic agreement is viewed as a pivotal moment in New Zealand’s history and the first important step towards reconciliation between the original inhabitants and settlers.

Recent history

In 1852, New Zealand was granted the right to self-govern and in 1907, independence was granted (although the British monarchy remain as head of state). More recently, New Zealand voted in its first female prime minister in 1997. Jenny Shipley held office for two years, before handing over to another female leader - Helen Clarke, who continued to lead until 2008.  In the last ten years, New Zealand has enjoyed a surge in tourism, partly due to the wealth of wineries, ski fields and nature reserves. The film industry has also been a great champion of New Zealand, with filmmakers enjoying the rugged terrain and relatively cheap costs associated with filming in New Zealand. The Lord of the Rings franchise is probably the most well-known film to be shot in New Zealand and has been largely responsible for putting New Zealand in the international spotlight.  A devastating earthquake hit Christchurch in 2011, resulting in widespread loss of life and infrastructure. Although Christchurch is still rebuilding, visitors are encouraged to visit this spirited city.

Festivals and events

With such an interesting cultural landscape – a fiery combo of Maori culture, Pacific rhythms and the European traditions – New Zealand is a place to celebrate. It’s a country that not only excels at celebrating its indigenous cultures, but embraces the contemporary with a playful zest.

New Zealand Festival

Running each February and March, this is the premier Kiwi art and culture event. From theatre to opera, sculpture to painting, cinema to dance, it’s the best overall window to New Zealand’s broad creative palette. And a strong sense of its roots as a nation, with Maori and Pacific cultures well represented.

International Hobbit Day

Whether you’re a die-hard fan is almost beside the point – this up-and-coming festival is worth it for the backdrop alone. Sample local cheese and wine in the rolling hills of Waikato, which takes on an especially magical atmosphere in the lamplight. A tour of The Hobbit movie set will impress the most cynical of disbelievers.

Queenstown Winter Festival

Bringing in each powdery winter since 1975, the Queenstown Winter Festival usually takes place over a weekend in June. With comedy, food, music and – would you believe it in Queenstown? – adventure sports aplenty, it’s well worth planning your South Island visit around this one. The Monteith’s Dog Derby and Dog Barking Competition is something of an institution.

Who are the First Nations people of New Zealand?

Originally from eastern Polynesia, they settled in what is now known as New Zealand (or Aotearoa, the ‘Land of the Long White Cloud’) over 1000 years ago. The Maori are a tribal people with many different facets to their culture, including a strong sense of kinship, warrior roots, sacred spaces (such as the marae, or meeting place), facial tattooing, and the concept of manaakitanga (showing respect). 

The Maori language (Te Reo Maori) is unique to New Zealand, spoken only in this part of the Pacific. Though most Maori people today live a modern European-style life, a small number of Maori still live a traditional life.

Queenstown Southern Loop

Although Rod, the driver was very nice I felt that Intrepid had not organised the tour as well as previous Intrepid tours I have done. It was very overpriced for what was provided. The van had a broken seat belt attachment with a sharp edge which ruined a down jacket I had bought for the trip. I have asked Intrepid about it but received no reply.

Northern Voyager

Plenty to do and see with new friends from around the world. WiFi in the vans was a game changer! You’ll thank yourself later.

NZ Adventure South

Do it! The South tour is incredible - packed with lots and lots of beautiful scenery and fun activities. Had a great time!

NZ Adventure North

James is great! 100% would recommend!

South Island Lick Tour

This was a great trip to explore the South Island when on a short time frame. The itinerary was well thought through Including a little taster of each of the highlights. Our tour guide Dan was a star, despite being very new to Haka he was very knowledgeable and genuinely wanted to make sure everyone had a great time, while also looking out for our safety. The hostels were generally really good quality and the breakfasts provided were delicious and far exceeded my expectations with Dan even letting us submit suggestions to add to the spread. The flexibility of the trip was also a great bonus, we made some impromptu stops to beautiful scenic spots and also had the opportunity to add on activities at the last minute. The other bonus was the group, I was worried about being surrounded by 18 year olds, but was really pleased to find a diverse mix of ages with plenty in my age bracket (20s-30s) and we all got on like a house on fire! Having done similar trips with G Adventures before, I would say this one wasn’t quite as slick in terms of the organisation at a company level, e.g. there was only a hand-written book for booking activities, which felt rather rudimentary and I would have preferred to have paid as I went along rather than all at the end. Additionally, I am not sure we got great rates on some activities e.g. sky diving was listed as cheaper at the venue than what we paid (but we did get a lift for free, so all swings and roundabouts!). Re accommodation, while the hostels were great, there could have been some more thought put into who was being put into rooms together when possible e.g. all female rather than mixing us up when. Overall, all that aside, I would definitely recommend this trip, it was a great flavour and very good value for money while also providing a top overall experience.

• Mountain Hikes

Classic South Island Adventure

The Active Adventures Tui trip taken January 2020 fulfilled all our hopes for an amazing vacation! 8 days to traverse the itinerary meant a few long driving days, but all drives included beautiful scenery, as well as stops for bathrooms, photos, and short hikes. Both guides were "local" extremely knowledgeable, congenially women. Our group of 9 included 8 Americans and 1 Kiwi. Activities were well planned and modified for each person in the group. The only improvement that could be made was the bus; too many rows of seats for the space meant very little leg room. I would take this trip again, and certainly will try another route with the same company.

Ultimate North Island Adventure

This was a great tour! The guides (Lauren and Jonathan) were very accommodating with the different fitness levels of the guests and weather conditions. I loved that the guides cooked some of the meals which allowed us the freedom to relax and share wine and experiences. The hikes were excellent and liked the other activities. Sandboarding, cave tubing and mountain biking were a must do. This tour hit all the great places on the North Island. Highly recommend!

Great! Awesome adventure!

Southern Highlights - 9 Day Self Drive Tour

After a "misstep" by your team in the beginning, canceling my trip the very next day after confirmation, Jules appeared to go significantly above the routine and made sure EVERYTHING else went PERFECT. She spent alot of phone time with me. Every place we went had the reservation, ticket, tour, seats ready and instantly available. She booked a few extras I did not request that were very enjoyable. I was able to easily book some things advertised we thought would be too crowded over the Christmas break making the whole trip the best one ever. THANK YOU JULES- and Marianna as well.

Highlights of New Zealand

I really liked the tour especially our guide, Robyn. I was prepared for the long distances we spent driving but the van was so uncomfortable! I’m 5 ft 7in & maybe 10 lbs overweight & I could not get comfortable. My knees were bruised from pressing up against the plastic back of the seat in front of me, not nearly enough legroom. Also the seat belt fastener pressed into my hip at all times making it uncomfortable to wear the seatbelt. The only thing that made me feel better is knowing G Adventures makes charitable donations & hopefully the money to buy a decent van went to charity instead.

What people love about Active Tours in New Zealand

One of the best experiences of my life, made possible by the incredibly talented and charismatic Daisy! This was well organized with all of the logistics taken care of for you while having the freedom to pick what activities interest you most. The group setting was fun and a nice bonding expensive of people from around the world. Some of the hostel stays were great, some were just ok, but all were clean and had the essentials.

Everyday was different. A well planned out tour giving a rich experience. You want to know what Maori culture is in a short time? This is it!!!!!!

Popular New Zealand Travel Styles

The Southern Hemisphere’s spring and summer, from October to April, are the best times to visit New Zealand.

These spring and summer months offer great temperatures, making New Zealand an excellent place for summer lovers to visit in the Northern Hemisphere's winter .

The Southern Hemisphere’s winter months from June to August are also a great time to discover New Zealand. Hot springs, snow sports, and shimmering glaciers offer exciting excursions you can enjoy in the colder weather.

The Northern Hemisphere’s summer is New Zealand’s winter, making it a great time for snow lovers but less ideal for travelers wanting a more all-around experience.

Spring and summer may be the best time to visit, but New Zealand is a year-round destination, with dramatic scenery, Maori traditions and history, and adventure activities like hiking and skiing possible on your trip.

Our guide on the best time to visit New Zealand can give you more information to help you find the right time of year for your trip.

If you are more interested in learning about Maori heritage and visiting vibrant cities, you would prefer the North Island. If you are eager to spend time in nature and explore the lakes, mountain trails, and fiords, consider the South Island.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are luxury 5-star resorts all over New Zealand, in both the North and South Island. They cost anywhere between A$188 to A$2034 a night, based on two people sharing. Look out for additional handpicked inclusions from Luxury Escapes, including daily breakfasts, food and drinks credit, late checkout, welcome drinks and spa treatments.

It all depends on what type of escape you’re after. For alpine adventures amongst glaciers, try the West Coast's Rainforest Retreat (in the South Island), or for a five-star Queenstown getaway, don’t miss Eichardt’s Private Hotel. On the North Island, QT Auckland in New Zealand's largest city of Auckland offers a luxury city base, while Sofitel Wellington is perfectly perched for all your adventuring needs.

The ideal time depends on what type of adventure you’re looking for. Ski enthusiasts will want to visit New Zealand in winter to hit the slopes, whereas hikers, walkers and explorers will love the temperate conditions of Autumn and Spring. Summer brings days of blue skies, perfect for sailing, kayaking and other water-based activities.

Like many holiday destinations, New Zealand can be as expensive or as cheap as you make it. When on the ground, it is around the same cost as travelling in Australia, but the high season may make accommodation and travel a little more expensive. To avoid this, aim to visit in the shoulder season – for the winter, this is outside of school holidays, while for the summer, this is March-May and September-November.

Frequently asked questions

When you're packing for a trip to New Zealand, remember the essentials like your visa, passport, chargers, camera, some NZD and the correct power adaptor. Depending on when you're travelling, you may also need to throw in a pair of jandals, some hiking boots and a hat, or some winter woollies and skiing essentials.

Anyone chasing winter and adrenaline should make Queenstown their first priority, as it's home to incredible ski slopes, fresh powder, skydiving, hiking, bungee and every adventure activity under the sun. Head north to the rolling hills of Hobbiton, Te Papa in Wellington, green space and architecture in Christchurch, the rugged beauty of Raglan's beaches, and spend a day on the water at the Bay of Islands.

Our latest info can be found in our Help Centre here

It depends, what are your holiday plans? If you're keen to ski, snowboard and explore the winter wonderland, you'll want to visit New Zealand between June and September. Those less winter-inclined can opt for the spring and summer months of November to May, where you can enjoy blue skies, a cool breeze and stunning days exploring the Land of the Long White Cloud.

As a global adventure capital, New Zealand is the perfect place for travellers wanting to move their bodies amongst the beauty of Mother Nature. Enjoy meandering road trips through lush tree canopies and scenic ocean routes, hike to picturesque peaks and ski through fresh pow. Jump out of planes and off bridges into rushing gorges, learn about Māori culture and history, or be guided by your taste buds as you sip and savour your way across the two islands.

Our tours of Australia and New Zealand will reveal the wonders of Down Under, from the sunny Great Barrier Reef in Australia, to the icy Franz Josef Glacier in New Zealand.

The International Antarctic Centre

Located in Christchurch, the International Antarctic Centre is one of the best attractions in New Zealand. There are scores of interactive experiences to show you what life is like in Antarctica, including a thrilling all-terrain vehicle tour and a wild Antarctic storm room. Immerse yourself in the 4D theater and meet the cheeky penguins.

Australian National Maritime Museum

Set in Sydney’s vibrant Darling Harbour, the Australian National Maritime Museum shares the country’s stories of the sea. You can explore three open vessels including a ship and a submarine, and various exhibitions that document the charting of Australia’s coastline and the sacred meaning of the sea to the Aboriginal Australians.

Museum of Sydney

The Museum of Sydney showcases the colonial and contemporary history of Sydney, though pictures, objects and digital media exhibitions. It was built on the ruins of Australia's first Government House dating back to 1788, and today houses a large display of convict artefacts recovered from over 25 archaeological digs.

Best museums in Australia & New Zealand

Our trips to Australia and New Zealand showcase the region’s top museums, from the interactive Antarctic Centre in New Zealand, to the open ships of the Australian National Maritime Museum.

Pavlova is made from chewy meringue shell with a soft marshmallow center, and topped with whipped cream and fresh fruits like strawberries, kiwifruit and passionfruit. There’s a rivalry between Australia and New Zealand over the true national origins of the dish, but both countries agree it’s a truly delicious dessert.

Seafood is a national specialty throughout New Zealand, but the best place to enjoy a meal of crayfish is Kaikoura, a seaside town on the South Island. Here, you’ll enjoy the freshest catch of the day, and the crayfish is boiled and served with a tangy dipping sauce.

Found in restaurants all over Australia, the parmigiana is one of the most beloved dishes in the country. It’s made from a breaded chicken breast slathered in tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese, served with french fries and salad. It originated in Italy and was brought to Australia with a wave of Italian migrants.

Here’s How To Win A Stunning New Zealand Trip That’s Worth $10k

This article is sponsored by 100% Pure New Zealand.

If taking a trip to explore the magical beaches, unique cities, and cosy-yet-rugged mountains of Aotearoa New Zealand isn’t on your bucket list, it should be. And if it is, and you’ve yet to make a trip over, 2024 might be the year your luck turns around.

There’s a once-in-a-lifetime $10k trip across the ditch to New Zealand up for grabs, and it’s guaranteed to make you feel grateful to exist on the same planet as this picturesque country. You’ll sip your way through luscious wineries, devour delicious farm-to-table produce and be awestruck by nature.

What you need to know: 

For seven days, you’ll experience the ins and outs of Wellington, New Zealand’s thriving capital city that’s home to some of the finest restaurants, cafes and bars you can find. 

Just tell us why you want to visit New Zealand and keep it under 25 words for your shot at the trip — that’s all!

Over the course of seven days, expect to be fed the freshest of food and the smoothest of drinks found in hidden bars — you’ll need the fuel when you’re exploring the great outdoors on day trips.

On day one, you’ll tantalise your senses with a dinner at Damascus , a Middle-Eastern-inspired restaurant with a seafood-focused menu, and on the following day, you’ll visit Wellington’s very own Chocolate Factory followed by fine dining at Bellamys by Logan Brown . Before spending time sipping on some of the country’s best Pinot Noir in the Martinborough wine region, you’ll go on the Kapiti Nature Tour .

While on tour, you could meet kororãs (aka little blue penguins that are too cute for words), rest in cabins surrounded by local flora and fauna, and embark on a guided walk across Kapiti Island. To top it off, you’re invited to the World of Wearable Art show, where you’ll be engrossed in the pure theatre of it all. 

Of course, that’s only a snapshot of everything this amazing trip has to offer — you can read a full breakdown of each jam-packed day below. Flights, accommodation, meals and activities for two people are all comped, so you’ll be floating on cloud nine as you drift to museums and beekeeping experiences that you just can’t find elsewhere. The QT Wellington will be where you’ll call home as you touch down, where you’ll be staying in one of its exclusive Gallery Harbourview rooms and met with a $300 welcome pack.

This trip has everything you need to tick off at least a dozen bucket list items in New Zealand, so get creative with your entries and cross your fingers and toes. 

Kia ora, fellow travellers.
