Tours to New Zealand in July plunge us into the New Zealand winter. All the luxury of local ski resorts is open to guests. In Queenstown, July is the driest month of the year. Temperatures this month range from +1°C to +15°C, up to +16°C in the Bay of Islands.
Wellington's temperate climate feels much colder when the southerly winds blow. Winter here is short and never extreme.
In July, you can visit Tongariro National Park, where you can ski the slopes of an active volcano and admire the scenery of the volcanic plateau. The town of Dunedin hosts the Cadbury Chocolate Carnival.
This is when the famous Cadbury Jaffa Race takes place, where 25,000 balloons roll down Baldwin Street, the steepest street in the world. If you're looking for a relaxing New Zealand summer vacation, head to Timaru or Invercargill.
New Zealand vacation prices peak in July, this is the height of the winter season. The lowest price for New Zealand tours in July will be around 2200 NZD for one without a flight but with accommodation. A full-fledged tour of New Zealand with a length of 10 days costs 6000 NZD per person, if you take into account rest at ski resorts, excursions and interesting programs, and including flight.
