The MoaTrek team is often asked what month is best to visit New Zealand.

For many of us April is a favourite time as the weather is comfortably temperate for hiking and the sea is still warm enough for swimming. But for travellers planning to visit New Zealand, April is often overlooked and misunderstood. 

As one of our Kiwi Guides says: "I've been guiding all over New Zealand since 1999 and if you ask me what my favourite travel memories are, without a doubt it is travelling through remote countryside like the Mackenzie Country, Central Otago or Central North Island in clear, autumn sunshine with colours everywhere and the occasional dusting of snow high up on the hills."

April is actually a fantastic time to visit New Zealand - read on to find out exactly why.
