Explore New Zealand's world-renowned landscapes before the summer crowds arrive
Spring is well underway in October, with warmer temperatures, vibrant blooms and waterfalls bursting with snowmelt and spring showers. Bask in the beauty of the Marlborough Sounds on the Queen Charlotte Track, discover the bubbling hot springs and mud pools of Rotorua, or learn about local culture and history with an elder in Te Puia Maori Village. Whether you're seeking adventure or tranquility, October offers a balance of both.
