These Air Canada Vacations New Zealand tour packages start from $4,659 CAD per person, taxes and fees included, with flights, all transfers, 4-star accommodation, daily breakfast, and an extraordinary range of More Moments experiences built into every itinerary. Choose from the 7-night Kiwi Wonders Auckland Rotorua tour, the 9-night New Zealand Experience covering Christchurch, Queenstown, and Auckland, or the 9-night New Zealand Wonders journey through Auckland, Rotorua, and Wellington. All three tours visit the Hobbiton Movie Set, all three depart Toronto in early December — New Zealand's early summer — and all three earn extra Aeroplan points per member. If New Zealand has been on your list, this is the week to make it happen.
Why New Zealand Stands Out
New Zealand consistently ranks among the world's most spectacular travel destinations — and the three itineraries on this promotion have been designed to show you the very best of the country's North and South Islands.
The North Island's geothermal heartland around Rotorua is unlike anywhere else on earth — boiling mud pools, geysers erupting from the hillside, ancient Maori cultural traditions performed in one of their oldest homelands, and the Polynesian Spa's thermal pools overlooking Lake Rotorua
Queenstown and Milford Sound on the South Island represent New Zealand's adventure capital and its most sublime natural landscape respectively — Queenstown perched on the shores of Lake Wakatipu with the Remarkables mountain range as a backdrop, and Milford Sound's sheer cliff faces plunging into dark, mirror-calm fiord waters
Wellington is one of the world's great compact capital cities — vibrant, walkable, and waterfront, with an exceptional food and coffee culture, the world-class Te Papa Museum, and the Peter Jackson film legacy woven throughout the urban landscape
The Hobbiton Movie Set in the Waikato region is one of the world's most beloved film locations — the meticulously maintained Shire set from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit is an experience that resonates well beyond the films themselves, set in some of New Zealand's most beautiful rolling countryside
December in New Zealand is early summer — warm, long evenings, wildflowers in bloom, and Milford Sound and Fiordland at their most dramatically beautiful after the spring snowmelt

Why Book Through Boarding Pass Travel
Three New Zealand itineraries at three very different price points, domestic flights included on two of them, a booking deadline six days away, and December departures that take full advantage of Southern Hemisphere summer — here's where having a knowledgeable advisor makes a genuine difference.
The three itineraries cover different parts of New Zealand and suit different travel styles. Kiwi Wonders is the most accessible entry point — a well-priced 7-night North Island introduction focused on Auckland and Rotorua's geothermal wonders. New Zealand Experience is the South Island showcase — Queenstown, Milford Sound, and the Waitomo Caves, with three domestic flights connecting the itinerary seamlessly. New Zealand Wonders is the most culturally immersive of the three — the Maori cultural performance at the geothermal park, the Polynesian Spa, Huka Falls, and Wellington's city character make this the right choice for travellers who want depth alongside scenery. We can help you decide which one fits before March 29.
Air Canada Vacations New Zealand tour packages for December departures book up well ahead of the season. Early Southern Hemisphere summer is one of New Zealand's most sought-after travel windows, and December 2026 inventory will tighten significantly as the year progresses. The March 29 deadline is the prompt — booking now secures your preferred tour, accommodation, and seat selection before availability narrows.
The domestic flight inclusions on New Zealand Experience are a meaningful logistical value. Three internal flights connecting Christchurch, Queenstown, and Auckland are bundled into the package price — a significant convenience that removes the need to independently price and book inter-island travel in a country where internal flights are essential for getting around efficiently.
New Zealand in December is genuinely exceptional timing. The country is in early summer — wildflowers blooming in the Mackenzie Basin, long evenings on Queenstown's lakefront, and Milford Sound at its most dramatically verdant. We can help you understand the seasonal nuances of each destination so you arrive with the right expectations and the right gear.
