Cheap flights from Edinburgh to New Zealand

New Zealand tops the ‘best of’ travel lists year after year. That’s mostly down to the dramatic scenery. Made up of two volcanic islands flung off the south-east coast of Australia, it serves up volcanoes, fjords and lakes in droves.

But Wellington is the principal city – a chilled-out place with great links to the wild South Island. Hop on a boat there, and you’ll discover a patchwork of wild national parks. Abel Tasman National Park serves up sandy beaches, while the Fjordland National Park is all turquoise waters and rainforests.
