There's a connecting ferry service to the South Island, leaving from Wellington to Picton, allowing tours of both islands by car. You can also book internal flights to Auckland from Christchurch for two centre holidays.

Cheap flights to Christchurch NZ are ideal for exploring the South Island, convenient for touring holidays to the Otago Peninsula, Milford Sound, Fjordland and Mount Cook. Consider booking internal flights to Christchurch from Auckland to reduce the fatigue of driving.

Weather and Climate Information

The best time to visit New Zealand if you're planning holidays is between October and the end of March (including New Year and Easter). Expect reasonably warm weather during these times.

During the New Zealand winter (June to August) it is cool with unsettled weather and significant rainfall, particularly in the Fjordland region of the South Island. In fact, New Zealand's south west coast, including Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound is one of the wettest places on earth with abundant natural rainforest. For this reason, to achieve the best photography it is wise to travel during the driest months of the New Zealand summer, which are usually January or February.
