For starry-eyed romantics, you will find a heavenly array of places to go and things to do for intimate and memorable escapes in New Zealand.

Go stargazing

Gaze into the eyes of your loved one under the Southern Cross and be star struck by New Zealand’s dark night skies. If you come in winter, you might be lucky enough to catch the symphony of colour that is the Aurora Australis.

Sail away together

Sail away together and explore the country's pristine coastline, with its paradisiacal islands and abundant marine life. Swim with dolphins in Kaikoura or sit back and relax on one of many boat cruises around New Zealand.

Bubbles and balloons

Clink your Champagne glasses at dawn as your balloon lifts you quietly into an unfolding New Zealand landscape where you’ll drift away from all worldly cares. See more about hot-air ballooning here.

Take a scenic flight

Soar to new heights together as you are spirited away on a scenic flight over some of New Zealand’s most astonishing and accessible alpine and coastal landscapes. Sightseeing from the sky with someone special is sure to leave you both on cloud nine.
