New Zealand tours in May 2025

Autumn is the unsung hero of shoulder season travel

With valleys of vivid colour and snow-capped mountains, New Zealand really pulls out all the stops this season. Spend the cool but sunny days of May partaking in any number of activities. Hike to waterfalls in The Caitlins, learn of tribal life from an elder in Murupara or sit back and relax in one of New Zealand’s many natural hot pools. Thrill seekers can get their fix, too. From bungee jumping or sky diving to jet boat riding or heli hiking – it’s really a choose-your-own-adventure in the Land of the Kiwis.
