Off the Beaten Track in New Zealand
Getting off the beaten track in New Zealand allows you to experience a quieter side of this captivating country, away from the well trodden tourist routes.
New Zealand has become an increasingly popular long-haul destination, and rightly so, as it has so much to offer in terms of scenery, wildlife, activities, food and wine, as well as the wonderful Kiwi hospitality.
However, being a relatively small country, some of its more renowned areas can get a little busy during the peak visiting months of January and February.
Avoiding the crowds
One way to avoid the crowds is to consider travelling during the quieter (but equally beautiful) spring or autumn seasons. However, another alternative is to steer slightly off the beaten track, experiencing everything that New Zealand is famous for, but in slightly lesser-known areas.
Tailor-made itineraries
A carefully tailored itinerary can take in thermal wonderlands, pristine glaciers, untouched expanses of beach and iconic Kiwi activities such as jet boating or tramping, immersing you in New Zealand’s finest features without following a ‘classic’ route around the country. In this feature you will find a host of hidden gems and great suggestions for a truly individual exploration of New Zealand.
