As a family orientated country, New Zealand has all the ingredients to ensure you’ll have a relaxing holiday together. We have personally selected extraordinary local experiences for children of all ages. And our focus is on nature conservation and small-scale locally owned companies.
Go Kiwi spotting on Kapiti Island. Or hop in a double kayak. Climb. Go horse trekking through the wilderness. Learn to surf. Cycle through the aromatic vineyards. Trek to a remote alpine lake. Swim with dolphins. Discover the endless ‘tramping’ paths.
