Fall in love with New Zealand’s autumn
Summer starts to cool down in March as New Zealand falls into autumn. Take in the scenery from a new perspective with a hot air balloon ride, sail across glittering glacier waters in Fiordland National Park and chase waterfalls in the Catlins. Whether you want to go for a leisurely walk along the golden beaches of Abel Tasman National Park or brave the Tongariro Crossing, the smaller crowds and long sunny days of March is the best time to do it.

This tour is a great mix of natural wonders, breathtaking scenery and culture. Island life, caves, hobbiton, catamaran cruising, volcanic landscapes, the trip has a lovely mix. It was well organised with the right mix of activities. Grant our tour leader was excellent. He was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and added so much more with his stories and humour. A great trip with a great bunch of people. Highly recommend visiting NZ.

A really enjoyable trip. We got a great overview of most of New Zealand's main tourist sites. Our tour guide, Mike, was exceptional and made sure our group had a great time. The accommodation, transport, included food and activities were all of a good standard. I definitely recommend and would travel with Intrepid again.

My cycling trip in Otago was a breathtaking experience. The weather was perfect, showcasing the region's picturesque beauty. The landscape, with its rolling hills and stunning vistas, was a delight to explore. What truly made the trip memorable were the amazing meals, adding a flavourful touch to an already perfect journey.
