New Zealand is a tourist mecca, a small country, jam-packed with spectacular scenery. From the cities to the tiny towns, there are a number of ways to reach your destination, whether you are a tourist in your own country, or a visitor from overseas.
Planes, trains and automobiles
New Zealand has many airports, both local and international, if you are short on time and need to get from A to B quickly. It is simple to plan an itinerary and book online, with regular services to all parts of the country.
For small groups and exclusive travel, helicopter and plane charters are available through several companies. For guests arriving from overseas, private planes can be landed and stored in public airports with the appropriate consents.
Travel by rail through the country is not as prevalent as it once was, but there are still lines operating along some of our most breathtaking scenic routes. In the main cities, local rail is forming an important part of the every-developing public transport system.
Buses operate several times daily up and down the country for relaxing long haul travel, or far more regularly in the cities to hop from one suburb to the next.
If you prefer to travel on your own, rent a car, motorbike or motorhome and tiki-tour at your leisure, stopping wherever the road takes you. A driving holiday is a wonderful way to explore out-of-the-way places.
Sailing away
New Zealand’s coastline is vast for the size of the country, and we’re a nation of water-lovers. Boat charters, water taxis, ferries and kayaks will take you over lakes, along rivers and out into the wide ocean for an unparalleled Kiwi experience.
Your own steam
Once you have arrived at your destination of choice, why not ditch the transport and walk (or bike ride)? Travelling under your own steam will take you along bush tracks, beaches and alpine passes that will leave you speechless and afford you a truly hands-on experience.
