Autumn in New Zealand is time of plenty in every imaginable way. During the months of March, April and May, skies are blue and foliage is ablaze with golden colours. Fruit harvests are underway and New Zealanders are heading out at weekends to play and compete
Kiwis have mostly returned to work or school and for guests to enjoy at their leisure. Popular destinations are uncrowded at this time of year, and it’s easy to travel between towns and within cities. Now’s the ultimate time to swim with dolphins or seals, visit rare native birds in their home environment, gaze upon stars in crystal-clear night skies, picnic among the drifts of leaves carpeting the ground at lakesides and in parks, and join Kiwis at sport and play in the great outdoors. The seasons in New Zealand are the opposite of those north of the Equator watch for signs of spring, New Zealand’s long, languid summer days are gradually giving way to autumn, bringing cooler evenings, brilliantly clear skies and gorgeously burnished landscapes. While the native flora is evergreen, there are also many when summer has past. Nature casts mantle of golden is alight with trees decked out in orange, yellow and fiery red, set against deep blue lakes and skies, and mountains
in the distance dusted with their first sprinkling of snow.
