Preparing for Takeoff to New Zealand 2026

I'm taking a 3 week trip to New Zealand to visit my daughter, Sierra, and her boyfriend, Kyle. They are living and working in Nelson on temporary work visas.

I'll meet Kyle's mom, Mary Kay, when we each land in Auckland on the North Island. From there we’ll fly to Nelson on the South Island to visit our kids. After exploring the South Island with Sierra and Kyle, Mary Kay and I will fly back to Auckland where Linda, a friend of mine, will join us to explore the North Island.
