Hi Orlinsey,
New Zealand is located in the Southern Hemisphere, so the
seasons are the opposite of what they are in the Northern Hemisphere.
December through February is the summertime in New Zealand and it is the
best time to enjoy the Island if you are planning a beach holiday, fishing, etc.
June through August is the winter time and cities like
Queenstown and
Christchurch are very much alive during this time, as these are two of the New Zealand cities that are found near some of the country’s best ski areas.
The South of the Island experiences the most noticeable seasonal changes, specially during the winter months when the temperatures can go below zero.
Finding cheap
flights to New Zealand might be hard to come by, but If you want to get a good deal, book well in advance, check prices for different airports, and try to avoid the busy tourists months (December to January).
Hope this helps
