Prices are indicative, shown in AUD and refreshed from provider APIs where available. Always confirm the final price on the provider's site - it is the price that applies. We may earn a commission if you buy through our links, which never changes what you pay. A row labelled "Featured partner" holds a paid position at the top of the table. Partners are listed before providers who pay us nothing, as our terms set out; sorting by price ignores all of that and orders on the number alone. How we make money.
Planning what to do in New Zealand
When is the best time to visit New Zealand?
December-March (summer) and June-September (ski season)
Summer for hiking and road trips, winter for the Queenstown and Ruapehu ski fields.
Worth knowing before you book in New Zealand
- Milford Sound cruise - Book ahead in summer - day trips from Queenstown sell out.
- Hobbiton Movie Set tour - Timed entry only, no walk-ups.
- Tongariro Alpine Crossing shuttle - Shuttle booking is compulsory - there's no legal all-day parking at the trailhead.

How these comparisons are made
Activities listed are bookable in AUD with instant confirmation where the platform offers it. Jamie has personally booked and taken activities through the platforms recommended on this site. Editorial notes on whether something is worth pre-booking are opinions and labelled as such - a queue-skip that saves three hours in July can be pointless in February. Read the full editorial policy.
