Best Time To Travel
New Zealand has a largely temperate climate. Far north has subtropical weather during summer and inland areas of the South Island can be as cold as -10 C in winter. Most of the country and places lie close to the coast which means mild temperatures, moderate rainfall, and a lot of sunshine and good weather.
If you are looking to travel to new Zealand, its best to travel around December through February. Warm weather and a buzz in the air leading up to the holidays. The days are reaching their longest hours, making plenty of time to go adventuring. In January there is heaps going on; lots of festivals, many summer events at this time of year as well as festivals and concerts.
fall months are great for hiking. It's a little cooler, a little quieter but so beautiful as the leaves on the trees change colour and the first dusting of snow arrive on the hills. As long as you've got a few layers of clothing.
