New Zealand—Need a tidy 2026 holiday list for trip planning
Kia ora! I’m plotting a North + South Island loop and want to avoid major crowd surges/closures. I’m after a simple, reliable list of NZ public holidays so I can pick quieter weeks and maybe stretch a couple into long weekends. What do you recommend?



This NZ holiday overview is clean and easy to skim: city-info new-zealand.
