What is the best time of year to take the 7 Day South Island Escape Premium Tour?


In Wild Kiwi

The 7 Day South Island Escape Premium Tour can be enjoyed throughout the year, with each season offering a different perspective on New Zealand’s landscapes. December to February brings longer days and warmer weather for sightseeing and outdoor activities, while March to May offers autumn colours around Queenstown and Central Otago. June to August is ideal for snow-capped mountain scenery, and September to November brings spring blossoms and flowing waterfalls. As conditions can change quickly, particularly around Milford Sound and Franz Josef Glacier, pack layers and a waterproof jacket whatever the season.
