Fall in love with New Zealand’s autumn
Summer starts to cool down in March as New Zealand falls into autumn. Take in the scenery from a new perspective with a hot air balloon ride, sail across glittering glacier waters in Fiordland National Park and chase waterfalls in the Catlins. Whether you want to go for a leisurely walk along the golden beaches of Abel Tasman National Park or brave the Tongariro Crossing, the smaller crowds and long sunny days of March is the best time to do it.
