Frequently asked questions
There are many ways to travel around New Zealand. While the “best” way depends on the type of holiday you’re looking for, there are plenty of options to suit different travel styles and budgets.
Rail journeys, guided tours, coastal cruises, coach tours, hiring a car or campervan for an unforgettable road trip, or simply staying in the one destination with a ski or family holiday package are all popular ways to explore both the North and South Islands.
Solo travellers can join one of the many New Zealand group tours available. Guided tours offer the freedom to explore independently while benefiting from the expertise of local guides and the convenience of planned itineraries. Tour operators such as Grand Pacific Tours and G Adventures offer a range of New Zealand tours designed for solo travellers.
For those who prefer to travel by sea, New Zealand cruises offer a unique perspective of the country's dramatic coastline. Scenic specialises in ultra-luxury coastal cruises, visiting sought-after destinations including the Bay of Islands in the North Island and Doubtful Sound in the South Island aboard its Discovery Yachts. Ocean cruises offer a relaxed way to explore New Zealand, with cruise lines such as Princess Cruises visiting destinations across both islands and sailing through the spectacular Fiordland region, including Milford Sound.
If flexibility is important, bases such as Queenstown make an excellent starting point. You can stay in one location and take day trips, hire a car to explore nearby regions, or combine your stay with one of the many New Zealand holiday packages available.
New Zealand is packed with breathtaking landscapes, charming towns and natural wonders across both the North and South Islands.
Some of the country's most popular destinations include the Bay of Islands, known for its beautiful beaches, marine life and rich history in the North Island, as well as Queenstown, New Zealand's adventure capital and gateway to some of the South Island's most spectacular scenery.
In the South Island, don't miss the picturesque gold-rush village of Arrowtown, the stunning turquoise waters of Hokitika Gorge, and the famous Blue Pools on the West Coast. Many travellers also enjoy relaxing in one of New Zealand's natural hot pools in the alpine regions.
One of New Zealand's most iconic experiences is visiting Milford Sound in Fiordland National Park, where towering peaks, waterfalls and dramatic fiord scenery create one of the country's most memorable sights.
For a different perspective, take the TranzAlpine rail journey between Christchurch and Greymouth, widely regarded as one of the world's great train trips, with some of the popular New Zealand tours including this great attraction. The journey crosses the Southern Alps, passing through spectacular mountain, river and rainforest scenery. Christchurch itself is often overlooked but is well worth exploring, with heritage architecture, riverside precincts and charming trams that may remind Melburnians of home.
Other highlights include Rotorua's geothermal attractions, the alpine landscapes of Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park, the glaciers of the West Coast including Franz Josef Glacier and Fox Glacier, and the vineyards of Marlborough, making New Zealand a destination with something to suit every type of traveller.
Yes, Australians need a valid passport to enter New Zealand and return home. Australian citizens do not generally need a visa for holidays or short visits.
