Autumn is the unsung hero of shoulder season travel

With valleys of vivid colour and snow-capped mountains, New Zealand really pulls out all the stops this season. Spend the cool but sunny days of May partaking in any number of activities. Hike to waterfalls in The Caitlins, learn of tribal life from an elder in Murupara or sit back and relax in one of New Zealand’s many natural hot pools. Thrill seekers can get their fix, too. From bungee jumping or sky diving to jet boat riding or heli hiking – it’s really a choose-your-own-adventure in the Land of the Kiwis.

New Zealand Northern Trail (Southbound)

Judy · Traveled May 2024

This group trip can be action packed with zip lining and white water rafting just 2 of the many options. But it’s also suitable if you enjoy a group trip to see beautiful NZ. The accommodation is comfortable and our guide was first class with unsurpassed local knowledge that gets you those special places.

Queenstown Southern Loop

Kelsey · Traveled May 2023

Great trip to see more remote areas of the South Island with a guided group - nice for solo travelers. Can see all types of weather in one day, so pack layers! A fairly quick pace with more time to relax on Stewart Island. Recommend the glow worm cave tour and kiwi bird experience add-ons.

Active New Zealand: Wanaka

Bronte · Traveled May 2023

I had a absolute blast on this trip! It was short but packed a punch in terms of the range of activities we got to do. We had a great little group of like minded people and our guide Griff was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the local areas we visited. Would absolutely recommend it to anyone that loves getting out and about!
