New Zealand tours in August 2025

While this month may be a great time for hitting the slopes, we think it’s more than worth it to bundle up and venture out into landscapes so striking they were the chosen settings for one of the most successful movie franchises of all time. And in August, you can see these already stunning views sprinkled in snow or twinkling in frost. Talk about a winter wonderland! Explore waterfalls, geothermal geysers, lakes, glaciers, forests and even glow worm caves. Be sure to also take advantage of the many natural hot springs dotted throughout the country – because, after all, you are on holiday.
