33. When To Go ?
• The New Zealand summer (November through February) is the best
time to visit the South Island — especially if you want to swim,
sun, and boat on the north coast.
• Temperatures during these months can get into the mid- 70 F during
the day.
• The one downside to traveling here during December and January is
that schools are on break, so you'll be sharing the sights and hotels
with lots of vacationing Kiwis.
