01706 753 636 With landscapes ranging from the subtropical to the subantarctic, unique Māori culture, and historic towns, New Zealand has it all; and there’s no need to choose between them with one of our New Zealand multi centre holidays. Experience the white sandy beaches and crystal clear seas one day, and the jaw dropping geysers, glaciers, and fiords the next, with visits to national parks, world renowned vineyards, and rainforests in between. It’s not just the nature worth visiting either; New Zealand’s cities offer endless options of extreme sports for thrill seekers, and incredible wine and cuisine for the foodies. With so much to see and do, it can be hard to know where to start. Check out our popular New Zealand holiday packages below or get in touch for a New Zealand itinerary that’s bespoke to you.
New Zealand’s highlights are spread between two main islands, each offering its own unique experiences. A multi-centre holiday allows you to link them together, making the most of your long journey from the UK. On the North Island you can explore geothermal landscapes, vibrant cities and rich Māori culture, while the South Island delivers dramatic mountain scenery, fjords, glaciers and world-class adventure activities. With excellent road, rail and air connections, it is easy to combine both islands and enjoy a holiday that is as varied as it is unforgettable.
Start in Auckland, where you can sail its harbours or climb the Sky Tower for panoramic views. In Rotorua, discover Māori traditions, watch a haka performance, and visit bubbling geysers and hot springs. Venture to Hobbiton to step into the world of The Lord of the Rings, or head north to the Bay of Islands for dolphin-spotting cruises. On the South Island, ride the TranzAlpine train through the Southern Alps, take a helicopter trip over Franz Josef Glacier, or cruise through the spectacular fjords of Milford Sound. Queenstown offers bungee jumping, jet boating and vineyard tours, while Dunedin reveals Scottish heritage and rare wildlife on the Otago Peninsula.
The most popular time to visit New Zealand is from November to March, when days are warm and ideal for outdoor activities. Spring, from September to October, offers mild weather and blossoming landscapes, while April and May bring autumn colours and fewer crowds. June to September is perfect for skiing.
Yes. Many travellers combine New Zealand with Australia, making the most of the long journey from the UK to see both countries in one trip. The South Pacific islands, including Fiji, Tahiti and the Cook Islands, are also popular choices, offering the perfect beach escape after exploring New Zealand.
You do not need a visa for multi centre holidays in New Zealand that are less than 6 months, however you will need to apply for a NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority).
There are no direct flights from the UK to New Zealand. With stopovers, usually at Singapore or Dubai, it takes around 24 hours.

Just booked the ABC islands with Rachel. Very straightforward and helpful.
best ever booking experience, came straight back with prices and details. If the holiday is as good we'll be back,
We have been booking our holidays through Nick at Eshores for quite a few years now and our trips have always been very well organised, Nicks attention to detail is spot on, he knows what types of locations we love, and we trust his opinions and suggestions. That’s the reason we’ve just booked two more…
Many thanks again to Kadie for sorting our holiday. This is the second time and very happy to return for help again after the totally amazing trip she arranged to Vietnam. One small blip on accommodation at one resort last time but eShores staff responded quickly and everything was easily sorted. Highly recommend eShores to…
This is the second time using e-Shores and we can't recommend them highly enough. Emily, who we've worked with on both occasions, is extremely professional, knowledgeable, diligent and has made great suggestions. The process of getting quotes, booking and making payments has been painless and I'd say we will be regular cuatomers going forward.
Amazing service
We travelled with eShores to Andalucia last year, and Emily did an amazing job of compiling an itinerary with good but affordable hotels - we would heartily recommend each one that she chose for us, and all the arrangements between cities worked beautifully. This year we have gone back to her for another holiday and…
This is my second holiday with eshore. The service I received was excellent. Kelly was very professional, understood all my requirements and booked a fantastic holiday for us. It was a very pleasant experience dealing with Kelly and definitely recommend friends to book holidays with her. A real 5 star service.
As always, our go-to girl came through with a fab itinerary for our very last minute booking to USA. Kadie arranged another 3 city break and made sure everything fitted in with our requirements. Always use eShores for our bespoke long distance travels and they never fail to provide excellent service.
eShores is a fantastic company for crafting tailor made itineraries. I have just booked my fourth trip with them, this time to Colombia. Gavin was exceptionally helpful and nothing was too much trouble in meeting my wishes even though it requred a lot of back and forth adjustments. If this is anything like my previous…
Matt Got us everything we wanted for our USA trip
I have yet to take the holiday so I can't comment on the hotels and transport provided etc but Nick was very helpful with the booking. Despite me asking numerous questions he sorted out exactly what I asked for within my budget. Thank you
So far our experience with eShores has been great. Of course the real test will be when we are on holiday so hopefully this will continue :)
