JUNE

It's officially summer.  The kids are out of school, the grill is fired up, and you're sweating and coated in bug spray.  So where to have that great summer adventure we've all been looking forward to??

NEW ZEALAND!!!

June is wintertime for the Kiwis and it also happens to be the off-season for tourism, so it is a great time to visit! The average temperatures for June-August are lows in the upper 30's and highs in the upper 50's/low 60's.  Aside from the typical winter activities of skiing and snowboarding (which are excellent), there's also glacier hiking, aerial tours, shopping, wine tours, horseback treks, and of course, bungee jumping!

From June 25th-July 4th, Queenstowns hosts its annual Winter Festival, touted as winter's biggest party. The Festival includes:  on-mountain snow action, street parties, fireworks, live concerts, comedy, theatre and glitzy nights of glamour. You may even catch some famous winter Olympians practicing on the half-pipes! Queenstown Winter Festival
