New Zealand is one of the best destination for New Zealand backpacking holidays. It’s easy to get around by scheduled bus services, or self drive and stay in backpacker hostels with like-minded travellers like yourself.

Backpacking in New Zealand provides the opportunity to see some of the more remote regions at a relaxed pace so you don’t miss anything. Travel economically so you can spend your hard-earned budget on some of New Zealand's famous activities - the brag factor will be awesome!  New Zealand adventure activities include river and sea kayaking, skydiving, alpine 4WD trips, mountain biking, wilderness horse trekking, river and lake jetboating, caving and hiking national parks.

Or enjoy some of New Zealand's world-renowned eco experiences such as whale and dolphin watching, swiming with seals, take a wildlife cruise, walk some of our national parks and beaches, sailing lakes and remote ocean bays.

Backpackers love adrenalin thrills which makes New Zealand's skiing and snowboarding top of the list of winter "must do's".
