Things to do in New Zealand

Go hiking along the winding trails of Abel Tasman National Park through scenic coasts, cliffs, sandy beaches and experience the wilderness for yourself. New Zealand is one of the few places where you can see the beautiful glow worms at the Waitomo Caves, a must add to your New Zealand tour package. Another must see are the panoramic views from atop the Sky Tower and if you are daring enough, suit up and try bungee jumping. A popular part of honeymoon tour packages to New Zealand include the Milford Sound Cruise that takes one through a romantic journey in pristine waters of the Te Anau Lake. Dive into the steaming, natural geothermal pool of Waiotapu and take home beautiful memories of your honeymoon in New Zealand. New Zealand is also great for culture buffs, given it is the land of the Maoris so enjoying a Maori cultural show is a must.

Places to visit in New Zealand

Visit New Zealand which has some of the naturally awe-striking locations and your trip will not be complete without a visit to these fascinating gems. Start with visiting the stunning escapade of Mount Cook. An incredible camping destination, Mount Cook is sublime and is a great place, to begin with on your vacation to New Zealand places to visit. The scenic drive from Lake Tekapo is the best route. Next up, go on a visit to the Museum of New Zealand. Huge in size, it takes a minimum of two-three hours to fully explore the museum and the artefacts make it worth the time. Unwind at the Pukekura Park. Overwhelming with plants, shrubs, waterfalls, a playground, and a zoo, the ambience is very pleasant and is ideal for an evening walk. For a more artistic retreat, head on to the Sculptureum. A gallery adorned with gardens, Sculptureum is a quirky getaway spot. For a splash of heritage & history, jump into the Omaka Aviation Heritage Center. The displays reflect the sheer glory of the timeless glory and you are immediately taken on a journey back in time.

Best time to visit New Zealand

The best time to take up a New Zealand tour package would be between November and February when the weather's great and it is not the peak season yet. March to April is spring in New Zealand and makes best season to visit New Zealand. Just carry your rain-gear for the occasional rain. There is lesser crowd during this time and the queues are shorter. December to February is when New Zealand is buzzing with tourists and plenty of outdoor activities, festivals are going on. But remember, the prices are also on the higher end during this time of the year. Winter in New Zealand is from June to August and is completely offseason. This is not a great time to visit considering the cold weather.

Travelled to New Zealand, Jun 2023

I had planned my New Zealand vacation via Pickyourtrail in May 2023. Starting from guiding me with the tour dates keeping visa issuance time period in mind, to helping me secure Visa with prompt followups with the Embassy, the Pre-Trip support was amazing. While on the trip, their 24*7 customer support was very prompt with timely trip & Activity intimations to resolving issues then and there. There was a small mistake with the cab planning where the cab drop was arranged for Queenstown while it was supposed to be Christchurch. The support team was very timely in coordinating and getting it changed with the Rental Service Provider else we would have gotten stuck as it was almost closing time. Now coming to the post Trip, Pickyourtrail ensured to follow up with me and get the refunds done with a few days despite waiting for my request. On the whole it was a crazy ride for me in New Zealand and all thanks to Pickyourtrail and it's team for making my first international vacation memorable.Read more

We went to New Zealand for our honeymoon and believe me pickyourtrail is bestest among all the other travel and tour packages providing vendors in market. From the very start of planning the trip to the execution everything was so smooth. Their staff was so helpful and best thing is you can customise your trip and they are open and kind enough to accept any changes in itinerary. Thank you guys for your outstanding service and support. Looking forward for more trips with you guys definitely in future.😊👍🏻Read more

I have used Pickyourtrail for my road trip in New Zealand for my parent’s trip to Maldives. The platform is easy to use and they had great on trip support for our New Zealand guiding us on timings and things not to miss. For Maldives the prices were quite competitive for good resorts.Read more

Amazing team at Pickyourtrail. Our trip to New Zealand was extremely seamless, with the team always approachable through the app whenever needed. And they prioritise customer experience over any other thing. Hope you guys continue the same level of customer service and I’m sure most of our trips will be through you. Cheers.Read more

Great application. Had a great experience. Team is very supportive. Special thanks to Saurabh and Jaishree, whom we bothered way too much! More importantly the bookings were amazing, including the hotels. As far as locations are concerned- we believe all were amazing (except Franz Josef which we found to be a detour and one day is more than enough - goes without saying the helicopter ride is an experience which one finds rare to din in other countries, including India). Queenstown and sherwood hotel was the best and a place where we have left our heart! Thanks for booking us at Wanaka sky dive, an unforgettable experience and bucket list item! One suggestion could be - indicate in the app the nearest car parking and exact time duration within which we should reach an activity. In addition, suggest if could improvise on the refund policy and keep a shorter duration.Read more
