Being on one of the adventure holidays in New Zealand means you’ll have an awesome time getting back to nature and marveling in some of the most beautiful and culturally significant sites known to man. Spend time on a volcanic island in the sea or visit the bird sanctuary to hear the call of the Kiwi. Immerse yourself in Maori culture and history or head off to the hills for some serious hiking and mountain climbing. This is one of the best places on the planet for glacier hiking, and rock climbing, and once you are up there, you should try some of the adventure abseiling; it is an adrenaline rush beyond compare.


Winter Wonderland

If you really want to experience the best of this country, you need to try one of the adventure tours in the winter months; this is an action junkie’s paradise in winter and everything is about the snow, the mountains and having some serious fun. Forget about the sedate playgrounds of Europe; New Zealand is all about action, thrills and excitement. The days are crisp and clear and the weather is not prone to storm or blizzard, so the snow is fresh and dense, which is perfect for skiing and other snow activities. With the perfect weather you can also indulge in traditional summer activities like hiking in the Abel Tasman National Park.  A relatively new action sport is that of glacier hiking and New Zealand delivers some of the most exciting hikes and spectacular scenery that you could ever imagine. Franz Josef, on South Island, is the stuff movies are made of. Ice blue tunnels and deep crevasses, the thrill of walking on a glacier that is millions of years old are one of the highlights of being on South Island in winter. One of the best things to do is to take a helicopter flight over the glacier shelf for some vistas that will have you gasping in awe.


Sunny Summer

If you’re in New Zealand in the summer, then you have to try your hand at kayaking in Milford Sound or Doubtful Sound. A playground of dolphins and whales, this is your chance to get up close to some of the most magnificent mammals in the world. You paddle your way through the seas or even have an overnight cruise, which will allow you to wake up in one of the most tranquil and peaceful places on the planet. Sea kayaking is becoming an international pastime and the adventure holidays in New Zealand will allow you to explore the seas around the Abel Tasman National Park as you watch seal pups at play, frolicking in the warmer waters.  There is something for everyone when you book an adventure holiday in New Zealand. All year round this country is ready for action, adventure and a whole lot of fun.
