New Zealand is one of those countries that holds something for everyone. With spectacular scenery and heaps to do, a trip here will no doubt leaving you wanting more. Here are my top 7 reasons why you should visit NZ now!

Spectacular Scenery

One of the best things New Zealand is known for is the incredible landscapes it has to offer. From snow-capped mountains to lush green farms, gorgeous beaches, jungles and cosmopolitan cities. It’s one of the most scenic countries I’ve been to with ‘wow’ moments around every corner.

Visit New Zealand All Year Round

The great thing about NZ is that every season has something to offer. In winter the mountains are covered with snow and the ski parks open up. In spring the flowers start to bloom and there are cute baby animals everywhere. Summer has great weather for walking and outdoor activities and the trees glow golden orange in the Autumn.

Friendly Locals

The local New Zealanders are some of the friendliest people around and always happy to help if you find yourself lost. It’s also great to get talking to locals as they know the best places to go, so a great way to get insider knowledge.

The Adventure Capital

Your budget could disappear pretty quickly with so many adrenaline activities to do! There are so many fun things to do here from jet boats, bungy jumping, zip lining and white water rafting. You wont get bored quickly here.

Hiking is Free

New Zealand can be an expensive place with all the activities on offer but luckily pretty much wherever you go there is some kind of hiking trail. They range from easy day walks to longer trails taking a few days. Hiking in NZ is not only free but totally incredible with it’s stunning scenery.

It’s Easy to Get Around

With bus companies like intercity or naked bus, travelling around the country has never been easier. Buy a bus pass for however many hours you need and book online as you go. Self driving may work out a bit more but it’s also a great way to travel around the country.

Good Coffee

New Zealand along with Australia is known for great coffee and I can totally agree with that, as I spent most of my time on the hunt for delicious coffee! If in Queenstown, check out a great place called ‘Joe’s Garage’, this was my best coffee in NZ!
