When you're packing for a trip to New Zealand, remember the essentials like your visa, passport, chargers, camera, some NZD and the correct power adaptor. Depending on when you're travelling, you may also need to throw in a pair of jandals, some hiking boots and a hat, or some winter woollies and skiing essentials.

It depends, what are your holiday plans? If you're keen to ski, snowboard and explore the winter wonderland, you'll want to visit New Zealand between June and September. Those less winter-inclined can opt for the spring and summer months of November to May, where you can enjoy blue skies, a cool breeze and stunning days exploring the Land of the Long White Cloud.

Anyone chasing winter and adrenaline should make Queenstown their first priority, as it's home to incredible ski slopes, fresh powder, skydiving, hiking, bungee and every adventure activity under the sun. Head north to the rolling hills of Hobbiton, Te Papa in Wellington, green space and architecture in Christchurch, the rugged beauty of Raglan's beaches, and spend a day on the water at the Bay of Islands.

As a global adventure capital, New Zealand is the perfect place for travellers wanting to move their bodies amongst the beauty of Mother Nature. Enjoy meandering road trips through lush tree canopies and scenic ocean routes, hike to picturesque peaks and ski through fresh pow. Jump out of planes and off bridges into rushing gorges, learn about Māori culture and history, or be guided by your taste buds as you sip and savour your way across the two islands.
