What our experts love about New Zealand

The South Island of New Zealand is full of so many breathtaking sights, but perhaps none quite as striking as when you spot the snowy, rugged peak of Mount Cook piercing through the clouds for the first time. It took my breath away.

What are the best places to visit in New Zealand

Although cities like Auckland, Wellington and Queenstown are packed with culture, quirky restaurants and some wonderful architecture, New Zealand is best known for its great outdoors. From the Bay of Islands in the North to Milford Sound in the south, you can expect big skies and cinematic landscapes that will impress, excite and inspire you in equal measure.

North Island

Experience the almost otherworldly geothermal landscape of Rotorua, with its steaming geysers, bubbling mud pools and natural hot springs. Attending a traditional hangi feast here is an unforgettable highlight for many visitors. In Wellington you can learn about the country’s fascinating history in Te Papa national museum, stroll through the lovely Botanical Gardens, and raise a glass of local sauvignon blanc at one of the capital’s smart harbour-front restaurants. You can also relive the 1930s in Napier, a city famed for its colourful art deco architecture, and explore Auckland's museums, galleries, parks and gardens.

South Island

Marvel at the wonders of the Southern Alps - Mount Cook, New Zealand’s highest peak, and the breathtaking Fox and Franz Josef glaciers. Board a vintage steamship for a scenic cruise on Queenstown's beautiful Lake Wakatipu, surrounded by mountains crags and canyons. On South Island's east coast, spot the Scottish influence in Dunedin. It’s the gateway to the Otago Peninsula, a beautiful wildlife haven where you’ll find colonies of endangered, yellow-eyed penguins and albatrosses.

More information about New Zealand

Each of our New Zealand holidays includes our VIP door-to-door travel service to take you to your chosen UK airport, plus an expert tour manager on hand to keep everything running smoothly while you’re away.


Although many excursions are included in the price already, our selection of optional excursions can help you get even more out of your holiday, whether it’s a whale-watching tour or a side-trip to Niagara Falls.

Our New Zealand escorted tours depart across spring, summer and autumn, avoiding the cold weather and often heavy snowfall that much of the country experiences during winter. The summer months are great for whale watching on both coasts and wildlife spotting in the Rockies, while spring and autumn tend to be cooler but much less crowded in the most popular destinations.

The hotels we feature have all been hand-selected by our team to give you the best possible experience. If you take a look at the itineraries for each of our New Zealand tour packages, you’ll see the hotel names listed for each night of the tour.   

There's a huge variety of different dishes and flavours to try, from French cuisine in Quebec to seafood in Nova Scotia to Asian fusion on the west coast.


Must-try dishes include poutine (chips topped with gravy and cheese curds - Canadian fast food at its finest); pancakes served with bacon and drizzled with maple syrup; sweet, flaky butter tarts; and freshly caught salmon.


Wines are primarily produced in Ontario and British Columbia and are well worth trying. Look out for ice wine, too, made from grapes which have frozen on the vine during New Zealand's cold winter months.

Visa requirements for New Zealand holidays vary depending on the passport you hold and the length of time you’re planning on staying. For the most up-to-date information on visas, please use the quick-check tool on our visa requirements page.
