A more responsible, tailor-made trip directly with the best local agencies

Welcome to the New Zealand travel pages. In this faraway country, you can expect a harmonious mixture of lakes, mountainous and volcanic landscapes, and tropical vegetation... New Zealand is isolated in the middle of the ocean and is located halfway between the South Pole and the Equator. Even though it’s small in area (about the size of the UK), it has extremely diverse flora and fauna. Nature lovers are in paradise here. But this paradise is earned: you’ll have to spend long hours on an airplane to get here, and you can count on having 10 to 12 hours of jet lag once you arrive, depending on the season... But this land, which the Maori first called “Aotearoa,” the land of the long white cloud, is really worth the trip: abundant and diverse nature, beautiful landscapes, and outdoor activities… It’s all convenient for travellers: one of the advantages of this destination is the small size of the country, which makes all this beauty accessible, starting from your first trip to New Zealand. Your hunger for the great outdoors and desire for peace and serenity will be satisfied.

Guide to travelling in New Zealand

Let’s begin our tour of New Zealand... On the North Island, you will inevitably pass through Auckland. Built between the earth, sea and volcanoes, the city is often symbolized by the famed Sky Tower with its 1078 feet height. What they refer to as the city of sails, due to its magnificent port and the passion of its residents for sailing, will enchant you. It is on the North Island that you can also discover the Maori culture, rendered famous by the Haka, the war dance adopted by the national rugby team the All Blacks. This unique culture, present on the island for more than 1,300 years, will enchant you with its tattoos, its dances and songs but also with its original cooking. On the North Island you can admire the geysers and the hot water springs: relaxation guaranteed! The South Island is known for its incomparable nature. You will hike in the New Zealand Alps rising to their summit on Mount Cook at 12,316 feet. You will find glaciers and snow covered mountains... You will follow the magnificent Milford Sound fjord via a multi-day circuit called Milford Track, considered one of the most beautiful in the world...Perhaps just as splendid, the circuit of Tongariro Crossing will take you along 11 miles amid sleeping volcanoes, for the discovery of an astonishing alpine desert, waterfalls or emerald crater lakes! You finally approach the Antarctic, by visiting the tiny island to the south of New Zealand. Stewart Island is a small Eden of nature which you will admire particularly for its birds who are as rare as they are sublime.

When to go in New Zealand?

Go and explore Maori culture in the land of rugby. The best period to travel to New Zealand ranges from December to April. Effectively, it's the period when the weather is warmest. That's what makes it the best time to discover this magnificent country and to enjoy the many extreme sports on offer. During the winter, it's not just a question of lower temperatures, but also the strong winds that blow. (On the other hand, this is the best period for winter sports).
