New Zealand’s high season is in the summer months, December through February. If you’re planning to visit over these months, book your flights and accommodation well in advance to lock in lower prices.
If you’re a hiker, March to May is the best time to tackle New Zealand’s famous Great Walks. It’s also a good option period for budget travelers from the US, with flight prices dipping during these months.
I love New Zealand—from great metropolitan cities, rolling hills, Ancient Kauri trails, surf breaks, wine and food, and treks… there is something for everyone! New Zealand’s amazing National Parks, glacier trekking and many extreme sports make it a beautiful place for those who seek adventure and adrenaline! After all, this is the birthplace of commercial bungee jumping.
