New Zealand
This could be your next unforgettable destination
Lakes, mountains and wide-open spaces, New Zealand is all about the great outdoors. It’s perfect for an epic LGBTQ+ family holiday, so earmark a few weeks and let’s start planning.
You have both the North and the South Island to explore, so visit incredible cities such as Auckland and Wellington, as well as remote landscapes with glass-clear fjords and shores with golden sand beaches just waiting for family time and sandcastle building.
If you and the kids are huge fans of The Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit, then the Hobbiton Movie Set Tours are an absolute must – your tour starts with a drive through 1,250 acres of sheep farm, taking in views across the Kaimai Ranges. The country’s biodiversity is second to none, so keep your eyes peeled for the kiwi bird, sea lions, alpacas and penguins or zipline through a native forest on an unforgettable canopy tour.
Elle Says:
Travelling with friends? Campervan travel is really easy in New Zealand, so why not hire a two or four-berth campervan, split the driving and explore all that this beautiful country has to offer.
