We believe that the best time to visit New Zealand is at any time except winter unless you are going to do skiing, snowboarding, or any other winter sports or activities. If there is a great snowfall then some roads can be closed for weeks and sometimes even food is being delivered by helicopter. That doesn’t happen often but snow is a common thing. Saying that you have to keep in mind that if you are going to drive in the snow then you need to know-how. In some cases and some roads it might be wise to use chains to avoid accidents. In general – winter is a wonderful time in New Zealand but you have to keep in mind the above.
