Overview

New Zealand in winter is a different country. This 8-night ski week puts you on the snow from day one — lift pass, boot fitting and hire gear all sorted before you arrive — with 4★ ski-in / ski-out where available beds and an instructor for whoever wants one. Non-skiers still get Milford Sound cruise and Queenstown adventure sports on the rest days.

Dec – Feb · Sep – Nov is the sweet spot for New Zealand (Oceania), and we plan departures from Surat around it — flights via Mumbai or Ahmedabad, 4★ ski-in / ski-out where available hotels locked in writing, and this itinerary from ₹2,76,999 per person on twin sharing.

Explera's Surat desk runs the whole journey end to end — flights, stays, transfers, guided sightseeing, New Zealand visa assistance and insurance — with a written day-by-day plan before you pay and a human on call 24/7 while you travel. Every departure is fully customisable to your dates, budget and travellers.

Went for our anniversary trip and everything from the Auckland itinerary to the return was handled with care. The hotels were exactly the category promised. Will book our next trip with them too.

Vapi · Anniversary trip

★★★★★
Auckland was our first big trip and Explera made it stress-free — visa guidance, forex tips, a sensible day plan and a driver who knew the area. Came back with amazing memories and zero complaints.

Rutvi Vaghani

Vapi · Anniversary trip

★★★★★
Fantastic solo travel. The Auckland package was customised to our dates and budget, the 4★ ski-in / ski-out where available were lovely, and they even rebooked one activity when the weather changed. Five stars.
