Q: When Is the Best Time for a Luxury Holiday to New Zealand?

The best time to visit New Zealand is during its summer months, from December to March. This is when the weather is at its best, with temperatures ranging from 60°F to 80°F (15°C to 27°C). Just remember that New Zealand is in the southern hemisphere, so if you visit in July expecting warm, sunny weather, you’ll be bitterly disappointed.

Q: What Should I Do on My New Zealand Luxury Vacation?

There’s no shortage of things to do in New Zealand, and what you pick truly depends on your interests. Swim with dolphins at Marlborough Sounds, taste your way across the Lake Wanaka vineyards, explore New Zealand's timeless glaciers, or indulge in the tasty cuisine at Auckland. What you do is entirely up to you, and our experts are here to help curate an entirely unique itinerary.

I highly recommend the helicopter tour of the famous Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers. Enjoy fantastic views as you soar above stunning glacial formations and snow-covered peaks. My favorite part is landing on a snowfield to savor the region’s icy beauty from up close.

Our Guests Love Our Luxury Tours to New Zealand

We’ve been planning tailor-made New Zealand trips for over 20 years. First-timers, honeymooners, families, and friend groups have much to say about their luxury tours of New Zealand and beyond.

November 2024

Our experience with enchanting travels was absolutely out of this world. We utilized their services to plan our honeymoon to New Zealand and boy, did they deliver!! Rebecca, went above and beyond to ensure we were truly happy with our itinerary and that It included a good balance of excursions as well as relaxing on our trip. She was receptive to any questions or feedback we had. Our travel liaison, Emma, was there every step of our trip to make sure we were comfortable, never lost, and always had the answers to any of our questions. This trip was truly the trip of a lifetime and a bucket list trip for my husband and I. We would not hesitate to utilize their services for another trip and we would definitely recommend them to any of our friends and family.

I have had experience planning group trips with dear friends and this was by far the most well planned trip I have had the pleasure of putting together. Kelly and Megan listened to all of our ideas and requests and followed through on every front. Knowing that our trip coordinator, Megan Cena was double checking all of our hotels and activities a couple of days before arrival made a huge difference. We were expected at all of the arranged accommodations, no surprises! The quality of the private small group tours we participated in was exceptional. The tour guides were top-notch. We traveled by bus, train,ferry, airplane and luxury van and every piece of our trip went beautifully. Also, one ferry was cancelled and Enchanting Travels was working right away to get us on the next ferry. Having contact with Megan throughout our trip was another plus- she would write every night to ask how that day had gone. A wonderful vacation!
