New Zealand Honeymoon Packages

About the Destination

Before embarking on your honeymoon with a couples’ package to New Zealand, it is important to understand the destination better. New Zealand is located in the Southwestern Pacific Ocean. Given the dramatic topography of the place, there exist many natural formations that make it quite attractive for couples to opt for holiday packages to New Zealand. The New Zealanders are fondly called Kiwis. The Dutch explorer Abel Tasman became the first European to set foot in this country in the 17th century. He named it Staten Land. It was the British Explorer James Cook that changed the name to New Zealand in the 18th century. The Polynesians settled on these previously little-known islands and gave birth to the distinctive Māori culture which is now known the world over and can be experienced on your New Zealand honeymoon package from India.

New Zealand is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. Among the nearly 600 islands in this nation, the North Island and the South Island are the main islands that are separated by Cook Strait. Together with Australia, it is part of the Australasia region. 

New Zealand is also home to a diverse ecology with a huge variety of wildlife species. Since the arrival of humans in the region, many species have become extinct and efforts are on to preserve and protect the remaining ones. The wildlife here is a major attraction for couples on a New Zealand holiday package. 

Experience New Zealand on a Honeymoon

For decades, New Zealand tourism played second fiddle to its more famous neighbour, Australia. But this is not the case anymore as the world is gradually waking up to the gorgeousness of this nation. What strikes the most to couples on a New Zealand package is the pristine nature of its wilderness. It is as if the natural beauty is still unspoiled and untouched by the ravages of tourist activity.

Owing to the unique geography and location of the place, there are so many specimens of natural formations that the views leave you awe-struck.

On your all-inclusive New Zealand honeymoon packages, take some time out to understand the real essence of the Māori civilization. Their customs and rituals demonstrated when you visit to a model Māori village; it greatly elevates the whole New Zealand experience.

Best Time to Visit New Zealand

Since the country is located in the Southern Hemisphere, the seasons are opposite to the ones experienced in the Northern Hemisphere. The summer season, December to February, is ideal for adventure sports and general sightseeing while the winters, June to August, are ideal for visiting the glaciers and snow-capped peaks.
