Daily flights to New Zealand make this splendid island nation so easily accessible and a highly desirable vacation destination. New Zealand is a blessed country, a peaceful and energetic nation in the South Pacific that attracts many tourists yearly. Several cities in New Zealand have international airports and hosts many incoming flights to New Zealand daily.

First, let me temp you with a few sites I especially like. New Zealand is perfect for the casual tourist wanting to discover the towns and cities, as well as those wishing to enjoy the rugged beauty of the outdoors and explore the breath-taking natural beauty of what Mother Earth has to offer. Here are some points of interest you may wish to temp you with:

Wellington Botanic Garden


Wellington Botanic Garden is near central Wellington and it is free to enjoy. The gardens have a unique landscape design that includes large sculptures, a protected native forest, specialized plant collections, colorful floral displays, and beautiful vistas overlooking metropolitan Wellington. Taking a walk at the Garden will be a breather for anyone. You can have a guided tour for $10. In the Garden is located The Wellington Cable Car Museum and Carter Observatory, as well as several national organizations. A cable car connects the top of the Botanic Garden to Wellington's Central Business District, and there is a walking path from the Garden downhill to the city.

The Fox Glaciers


New Zealand tours often include Fox Glaciers, which is one of the most spectacular glaciers on the West Coast of South Island. Get close to the real thing with the assistance of professional guides who will be with you all throughout your glacier and mountain adventures. Enjoy great views of Mt. Tasman and Aoroki and remain breathless as you go trekking further up and see its full grandeur.

Thames Gold Field


After taking a trip going-up, why not consider a trip going down? Thames Gold Field will give you a chance to go underground for about 40 minutes to experience the dangers faced by miners in the 19th century. This will allow you to go back in history and trace how early miners dug gold.

Glow Worm Cave


You should never leave New Zealand without visiting this unusual place. It is visited by no less than half a million people a year and has consistently been a favorite location for local and international New Zealand tour visitors. And why not? It is the home of stalactites and stalagmites together with a ocean-like myriad of twinkling lights created by glow-worms. It is one of nature’s splendid natural works of art. The images it will last forever.

New Zealand has a European temperate climate with summer and winter temperatures that vary by only about 24°f over most of the country. This provides moderately warm summers and mild-to-cool winters at low elevations and snowy winter weather at higher elevations. For those that truly enjoy the outdoors, New Zealand’s moderate climate makes the perfect holiday destination year round for those that enjoy the outdoor life.

Outdoor Activities


The summers in New Zealand have plenty of sunshine and limited rain that allow for great experiences while camping and trekking across the country, as well as enjoying activities such as swimming, diving, boating, rafting, kayaking, and snorkelling. Campers note: New Zealand does not have snakes or other dangerous wild animals. This means it is safe for visitors to enjoy outdoor activities in any part of the country.

Hiking along the northern section of South Island is open all year round. This includes the Abel Tasman, Heaphy, and Queen Charlotte Sound Walkways. Other walkways at higher mountain altitudes such as the world famous Milford Track is closed in winter due to snowy weather.

New Zealand’s walkways (for walks/light hiking) are very popular. You can “rough it” on an independent walk, carrying your own pack and stay in basic a hut or tent, or you can book a guided walk with the Department of Conservation's Great Walks Booking Office and enjoy hot showers and other home comforts.

New Zealand is a country with lush rainforests, dramatic mountain chains, geothermal hot pools, and quaint towns that dot the landscape. You'll find snow on the mountains in winter and excellent skiing. At lower elevations, New Zealand winters are mild and temperatures usually do not fall below freezing.
