Book cheap flights to New Zealand with Globehunters today and explore the beautiful mountains, lakes and national parks which starred as Middle Earth in the Lord of the Rings franchise.

Definitely a destination for lovers of the great outdoors, New Zealand has plenty to see and do across its two islands.

The North Island is generally the warmer of the two and is home to sights such as the hot springs of Cathedral Cove and the Franz Josef Glacier, which is notable for being one of the few glaciers to be found in such a temperate environment.

If you fancy trying your hand at skiing, head to the Remarkables mountain range on the South Island during the winter months, where you’ll find a full ski resort with its own bars and nightclubs.

The Maori culture shines through strongly in New Zealand, such as in Tane Mahuta, a giant tree in the Waipoua Forest which is a big part of Maori mythology and in the Maori traditions and cultures which are respected throughout the country, such as the infamous Haka war dance.

Aside from its natural beauty, New Zealand is also home to a number of cosmopolitan cities, such as Wellington and Auckland which are packed with sights, shops and cafés to explore.

We are proud to offer Business class flights to New-Zealand as well as economy.
