New Zealand is a paradise for solo travellers who would like to experience the great outdoors. With a focus on nature conservation and small-scale locally owned companies, we have personally found the best activities in New Zealand.
Hop aboard a traditional war canoe. Taste a traditional ‘hangi’. Spot the iconic Kiwi bird. Wander through ancient rainforests. Go Stargazing. Be mesmerized by flickering glowworms. At a relaxed pace, discover the local treasures.

"One of my favourite regions has to be the Marlborough Sounds. It's a great alternative to the Abel Tasman region."
