New Zealand Holidays

New Zealand holidays showcase vast open spaces, breathtaking scenery and a warm welcome from friendly locals. Offering some of the world’s most spectacular and varied landscapes, New Zealand is the ultimate destination for lovers of the great outdoors. Combining action-packed activities with moments of pure relaxation, a New Zealand holiday can be as adventurous or as laidback as you choose.

In the North Island, discover the cosmopolitan waterfront cities of Auckland and Wellington, explore the geothermal wonders of Rotorua, and cruise the pristine waters of the Bay of Islands. The North Island is also the heartland of Maori culture, offering rich traditions and fascinating history.

The South Island is defined by its pristine wilderness and spectacular national parks, including the awe-inspiring Milford Sound. Dramatic mountains, glaciers and fiords create the perfect backdrop for unforgettable wildlife encounters, while celebrated wine regions and luxurious lodges offer world-class tasting menus and exceptional hospitality.

Super Debbie

"We were greeted immediately on entering the shop and ushered over to the desk of Debbie Rhoden, a New Zealand specialist. Debbie was knowledgeable, friendly, patient and efficient. She talked us through our flight options and in what seemed like no time at all, we were all booked for 2027. Excellent service. We kicked ourselves for not using Trailfinders for earlier NZ trips."

We had the pleasure of working with…

"We had the pleasure of working with Debbie at Trailfinders to organise our amazing one-month holiday to Australia and New Zealand, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better service. From the very beginning, Debbie was incredibly professional, calm and patient. Planning a month-long trip with lots of flights and different arrangements can be complicated, but she made the whole process feel easy and seamless. What really stood out was Debbie’s level of attentiveness and the genuine care she put into making our trip as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. She was incredibly proactive and continued to look for ways to improve our itinerary, even after everything had been booked. For example, she noticed that one of our flights could be changed from 7am to later in the morning at no additional cost, which made our journey much more convenient. It was exactly this kind of attention to detail that made such a difference and showed how much thought she put into our overall experience. Debbie was always incredibly helpful, responsive and patient, and we felt completely looked after throughout the entire planning process. Her professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile really made her stand out. We are so grateful to Debbie for helping organise such an amazing Australia and New Zealand adventure. She is a real credit to Trailfinders, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone planning a trip. We will definitely be going back to Debbie for our future holidays!"

Excellent experience booking long haul trip

"Darren Hassall at the Deansgate branch was excellent. We came with a rough idea of what we wanted to visit in New Zealand and he worked out the day to day itinerary for the month trip. Didn’t feel rushed, showed us photos of all hotel options, tried to find best prices without compromising on quality, explained things very clearly. Think Darren quickly got the measure of what we wanted to achieve. Very worthwhile going into a branch and dealing face-to-face with an agent like Darren. Very good experience as first time users of trailfinders. "
