New Zealand tours in April 2026

New Zealand offers remarkable sights year-round, but April is arguably one of the prettiest times to visit – particularly on the South Island where autumn foliage sets the landscape ablaze with copper and gold. Soak up the colours on a cycling adventure along the Otago Rail Trail, see the striking contrast of yellow trees mirrored on the waters of Lake Wanaka, or sample Marlborough's seasonal wines in the crisp autumn air. If you prefer a warmer climate, the North Island beckons with iconic trails like the Tongariro Crossing, now peaceful and uncrowded after the summer rush.
