New Zealand Adventure

New Zealand

Enjoy the waterfalls at their fullest, the flowers blooming (those lupin fields on Lake Tekapo), and fewer crowds are also tempting. The hiking season for most Great Walks starts mid-October.

Spring

Summer is the most popular season and for a good reason. You can enjoy the widest spectrum of activities with pleasant hikes and warm beaches.

Summer

Fall is our favorite season, especially on the South Island. It is slightly colder, but you can still hike the Great Walks with fewer crowds while enjoying spectacular fall foliage scenery with the snowy peaks.

Fall

Winter months bring more rain to most of the North Island and colder temperatures across the country. Snow-peaked mountains are beautiful, but we don't recommend exploring in winter.

Land of the Long White Cloud

New Zealand – Land of the Long White Cloud

The Milford Highway is considered one of the most scenic drives in the world, running through the stunning Fiordland National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its spectacular landscapes, waterfalls, and fiords.

The road passes stunning natural landmarks, including the Mirror Lakes, the Eglinton Valley, and the Homer Tunnel, which is a mile-long tunnel carved through solid granite. The road then descends towards the Milford Sound.

We recommend taking your time and stop whenever you like along the way to experience some of the most breathtaking natural scenery in the world.

Milford Highway

Home to the breathtaking Milford and Doubtful Sounds, cruising these deep fjords surrounded by towering cliffs and waterfalls is like entering a mystical world.
