The New York Times and the Independent UK exhort you to travel to New Zealand in 2017, because which other country in the world offers you stunning destinations that are never more than 70 miles from one of the world’s most beautiful coastline, where only 5% of the population is human (the rest benign animal), no snakes exist, has the world’s smallest dolphin species, whose lakes have the clearest water in the world, about a third of the country is protected national parks, is the least corrupt, and just all-round the most breathtakingly beautiful? We at Tripifini suggest you say: Let’s go! Meet the Kea, a lovely looking bird that likes to pull windscreen wipers off of cars, see the largest diversity of penguin species in the world, and challenge yourself with saying the longest place-name in the world, that starts with Taumata… and carries on for 57 more alphabets. There are more fun-facts about this little country (the size of UK) than any other, but we suggest you go and visit and see for yourself why exactly it was voted the World’s Best Country in 2007 and 2008 by Wanderlust Magazine.
Peak Season Description:
Gorgeous sunny days all round, for any activity that you may choose (even the waters are relatively warm for snorkeling and diving). The cities are festive, and the great NZ outdoors are a sheer experiential delight. Expect lots of tourists, expensive flights, hotels full and travel operators maxed out, unless you book at least 6-8 months in advance. June to August is peak skiing season; book at least 6 montsh in advance for resorts.
Shoulder Season Description:
Not as crowded as the peak season, but still plenty of reasons to visit New Zealand. The autumn and spring periods are a time of lesser crowds, and the weather perfect for those who prefer cooler temperatures. September and October are months of snow melt, making for some spectacular white-water rafting.
Low Season Description:
Both islands are in the grip of winter, but yet there is something to be said for the sheer beauty of New Zealand winters with virtually no crowds and unspoiled landscapes. However, do note that many excursions and activities may shut shop, so please check with the operator.
