Summer on the north island (December to February) is ideal for outdoor pursuits with mild temperatures and hours of sunshine. Venture to the numerous ski slopes and warm up close to a crackling fire during the winter months in June to August.

New Zealand holiday

As far away from the UK as it is possible to go, New Zealand is the true Antipode, set like a remote emerald jewel in the blue waters of the southwest Pacific. The Maori culture is evident wherever you travel in this beautiful country and it is an unspoilt landscape of snow-capped mountains and sheer-falling fjords, rolling meadows and open farmland.

A New Zealand holiday with Abercrombie & Kent can take in all the huge diversity of landscape and people that define this spectacular country.

Start your New Zealand holiday on the North Island, which is best known for the geothermal wonders of Rotorua, but also offers insights into the rich and rewarding Maori culture and the clear waters of the Bay of Islands. Auckland's harbour is not to be missed and is usually the gateway to a New Zealand travel. Explore the Art Deco town of Napier close to the wine region of Hawkes Bay. Wellington is the capital of New Zealand and is the link between the north and the south islands. 

Continue your luxury holiday in New Zealand by crossing over to South Island, home to Christchurch where you can punt along the Avon river or try swimming with the dolphins at Akaroa. Some of the world's most restful retreats have a home on the South Island but if that's not for you, there's excitement in Queenstown, the adrenalin capital of the world. A New Zealand holiday is also a chance to quietly explore farmlands and national parks where nature rules and glaciers glide gently and quietly to the sea.
