What are you doing with your summer? Or, if you’re from the other side of the world, what are you doing with your winter? Why not spend it in warmer climates by road tripping in a motorhome NZ in the summer—that is, our summer.
Not only is the weather probably nicer than your weather, at the moment, but New Zealand has a lot going in the summer. The best way to enjoy exploring the country and all the fun to be had in the summer is to travel around in a motorhome NZ.
Travelling in this way allows you to be comfortable and helps you to focus more on the destinations and less on accommodations. The best thing about visiting New Zealand in the summer is that you can enjoy the beautiful places much more comfortably than if you were visiting during the cold winters. The following summer activities are only a few of the best things to do while visiting New Zealand in the summer time:
- Go bungy jumping. You go bungy jumping any time of the year, it’s true, but there is something to be said about bungy jumping in the summer, when the weather is clear and you can visit some of the most iconic places for bungy jumping in the country. For example, you can jump at the AJ Hackett Bungy Ledge Bungy and Swing and be rewarded with amazing views of Queenstown or jump at the Kawarau Bridge Bungy above water—you can even touch the water.
- Go whale watching in Kaikoura. Kaikoura is always a good idea for anyone visiting New Zealand, but especially so in the summer when the sperm whales are visiting our waters. These magnificent creatures aren’t so easy to see just anywhere, so consider making this a priority.
- Milford Sound is waiting for you to see it. New Zealand is pretty any time of the year, we know that. Yet, if you want to make the most of your visit to Milford Sound, you must visit in the summer. You’ll be able to do all of the activities comfortably. From hiking or walking the trails to kayaking in the water, enjoying the beauty of Milford Sound is best enjoyed in the summer.
- Visit the Abel Tasman National Park—and go kayaking while you’re at it. Abel Tasman National Park is blessed with beautiful landscape and variety. Because the park is located along the coast, a great way to enjoy seeing it is to kayak along the coast while observing the rainforest, caves, and islands in the area. You can also go hiking or mountain biking on land to see the park, so it’s up to you and your style of adventure.
- Relax at Lake Tekapo. If you’re feeling a bit tired and need some relaxation, it’s totally valid to chill at one of the world’s most beautiful destinations: Lake Tekapo. Lake Tekapo is charming in the winter with the snow covered peaks in the distance against the crystalline waters, but during the spring and summer is when you get to enjoy the flowers coming to life and the blue skies adding to the beauty of this unique location. Not as busy as other places in New Zealand, you’ll be able to enjoy a relaxed environment without having to stress about mass tourism interrupting your time off.
- Go skydiving at some of the world’s most iconic locations. Sure, sure, you can sky dive anywhere, but have you ever thought about skydiving above a glacier wonderland? Well, in New Zealand, you’ll have the opportunity to sky dive in some amazing locations, such as Franz Josef Glacier or above Glenorchy. Trust us, there are some great places for sky diving in New Zealand.
- Relax at beaches in Auckland or visit Bay of Islands. Most vacationers like to visit beaches during their vacation. What a great way to enjoy your time off, right? If you’re this kind of person, New Zealand is a must. Bay of Islands offers much in the way of beautiful beaches and fun things to do while Auckland provides you with both an attractive city to visit, as well as some pretty incredible beaches to relax at. Because New Zealand is made up of plenty of coastline, you won’t have a shortage of beaches to choose from, that’s for sure.
