Celebrating Autumn - Kiwi Style

In a way, New Zealand is at its best during autumn. Fall in New Zealand is a unique experience not just because of its quiet tranquility, but because the scenery is unparalleled at this time of year. The summer rush is generally over by the beginning of March but the weather is just perfect for exploring. The peak time of the autumn colour change is generally observed between the second and third weeks of April. The autumn has a much more dramatic effect on the South Island in comparison to the North Island and Hagley Park in Christchurch is one makes for a beautiful stroll. If you love to lose yourself in autumn foliage, visit Auckland in the fall to enjoy walking along rugged coastlines or just breathe in the fresh air of the countryside. To get the best deals on flights to Auckland look out for off-season flights and packages online.
