Margaret BWhat is the best time to visit Asia?
Asia is incredibly diverse, so the best time to visit depends on where you're travelling.
Generally, March to May and September to November are popular times to visit many Asian destinations thanks to pleasant temperatures and lower rainfall. However, tropical destinations like Thailand, Bali, Singapore and the Maldives have different weather patterns from countries like Japan, South Korea and China.
The good news is there's always somewhere in Asia experiencing great weather, making it a year-round holiday destination for New Zealand travellers.
How long should I spend in Asia?
The ideal length of stay depends on how many countries you'd like to visit.
Most Kiwis spend 10 to 14 days exploring a single destination. If you're planning a multi-country itinerary, 2 to 3 weeks allows enough time to experience several destinations without feeling rushed.
Which Asian country should I visit first?
If it's your first trip to Asia, here are some of the most popular destinations among New Zealand travellers:
The best destination depends on whether you're looking for beaches, culture, food, luxury, adventure or a mix of everything.
Is Asia a good holiday destination for New Zealanders?
Absolutely. Asia is one of the most popular regions for Kiwi travellers thanks to its diverse cultures, world-class food, stunning landscapes, excellent value and relatively short flight times from New Zealand.
Whether you're looking for a family holiday, romantic getaway, luxury escape, adventure holiday or stopover enroute to Europe, Asia has something to suit every traveller.
Do I need a visa to visit Asia?
Visa requirements vary significantly between countries.
Some destinations, like Singapore and Malaysia, often offer visa-free entry for New Zealand passport holders, while others may require a visa or e-visa before departure.
It's always important to check the latest entry requirements on Safe Travel for every country you plan to visit before travelling.
How do I find the best Asia holiday package?
The best Asia holiday packages combine flights, accommodation, transfers and experiences suited to your interests. Many travellers choose multi-country itineraries to maximise their holiday experiences. For example, you might choose to visit Singapore and Bali, Thailand and Vietnam, Japan and South Korea, Singapore and Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia or Maldives and Sri Lanka.
Booking through a travel specialist makes planning easier, particularly when travelling between multiple countries.
Is Asia expensive to visit?
Asia caters to every budget.
Many destinations like Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Bali offer excellent value for money, while places like Singapore, Japan and the Maldives can provide premium experiences alongside more affordable options.
Whether you're travelling on a budget or looking for luxury, you'll find a destination that fits your style.
How much does an Asia holiday cost?
The cost of an Asia holiday depends on the destination, travel style and time of year.
Many New Zealand travellers find Asia offers some of the best value-for-money holidays available, particularly in Southeast Asia. Accommodation, food, transport and sightseeing can often be more affordable than in Europe or North America.
What should I pack for a trip to Asia?
What you pack will depend on the destinations and seasons you're travelling in, but a few essentials include:
If visiting northern Asia during winter, you'll also need warm clothing and layers.
Do I need travel insurance for Asia?
Yes, travel insurance is highly recommended for all travel within Asia.
A comprehensive policy can help cover medical emergencies, travel delays, cancellations, lost luggage and unexpected disruptions, giving you peace of mind while travelling.
What currencies are used in Asia?
Asia is made up of many different countries, each with its own currency.
Here are the various currencies of Asia:
Most major tourist destinations have ATMs and electronic payment options available.

You'll need to exchange NZD into the local currency or withdraw cash using an ATM after arrival.
Is Asia safe for travellers?

As with anywhere in the world, it's important to stay aware of your surroundings, keep valuables secure, use reputable transport providers and follow local travel advice.
Can you drink tap water in Asia?
It varies by destination.
In places like Singapore, Japan and South Korea, tap water is generally safe to drink. In many other destinations, including Thailand, Vietnam, Bali and India, visitors are strongly advised to drink bottled or filtered water.
Always check local recommendations when you arrive.
What vaccinations do I need for Asia?
Vaccination requirements depend on the countries you're visiting and the type of travel you're planning.
It's a good idea to discuss your itinerary with your doctor before departure to ensure you're up to date with recommended vaccinations and health advice.
How do I get around Asia?
Asia has a wide range of transport options, from ultra-modern high-speed rail networks to domestic flights, ferries, buses, tuk-tuk’s and ride-share services.
Travelling around Asia is often easier and more affordable than many first-time visitors expect.
What are the best things to do in Asia?
Asia is home to some of the world's most iconic experiences.

Is Asia family-friendly?
Yes, Asia offers fantastic family holiday options.
Singapore, Thailand, Bali, Malaysia, Japan and South Korea are especially popular with Kiwi families thanks to their family-friendly accommodation, attractions, safe transport systems and range of activities suitable for all ages.
What cultural etiquette should I be aware of in Asia?
Asia is home to many cultures, religions and traditions, so customs can vary between countries. Dress respectfully when visiting temples and religious sites, remove your shoes when required, be respectful of local customs, traditions and foods, learn a few local phrases where possible and always be mindful when taking photographs of people and places of worship.
Showing respect for local cultures will always enhance your travel experience.
Do I need cash or can I use cards in Asia?
Both are useful.
Major cities and tourist areas across Asia widely accept cards and mobile payments, while smaller businesses, local markets and rural areas may still prefer cash.
Carrying a combination of both is usually the easiest option.
Is Asia a good stopover destination?
Absolutely. Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur are popular stopover hubs for New Zealand travellers.
A stopover is a great way to break up a longhaul journey to Europe, reduce travel fatigue, and turn one holiday into two.
What apps should I download before travelling to Asia?
A few handy apps can make travelling around Asia much easier:
Depending on your destination, you may also benefit from local transport, rail or payment apps.
Travel is truly in my blood. My grandparents sparked the travel bug in my mum, and she passed that passion on to me. From the moment I took my very first holiday at age three, a magical trip to Disneyland, I was hooked. Growing up, I listened to my mum’s stories from her OE, my cousins’ globe-trotting adventures, and my sister’s explorations, all of which fueled my own wanderlust.
Over the years, I’ve lived in Scotland, as well as in England and Ireland, soaking up different cultures and ways of life. I’ve been fortunate to travel extensively, exploring incredible destinations including Jordan, Israel, the USA, Australia & Europe. I’ve experienced the security and ease of organised solo travel with Contiki and Topdeck tours, but I’ve also embraced the challenge and freedom of planning my own trips, like eloping in Denmark, which remains one of my most cherished adventures.
With a background in hospitality, I combine practical knowledge with genuine care to craft holidays that are personalised, meaningful, and seamless. I love getting to know your unique travel style and what matters most to you, whether that’s family fun, a romantic escape, or a bucket-list adventure.
I’m not just your travel consultant; I’m your travel cheerleader. I’ll celebrate every countdown with you, smooth out any bumps along the way, and be just as excited when everything comes together perfectly. My goal is to take the stress out of travel planning, so you can focus on making memories.
Let’s work together to create a travel experience that’s not only unforgettable but uniquely yours.

As the proud Owner Operator of House of Travel Nelson, I lead a small but passionate team dedicated to taking care of all your travel needs.
I primarily work on the Orbit World Travel side of our business, specialising in business and group travel. But as a traveller myself, I love chatting with customers and the team about their upcoming adventures — there’s nothing better than sharing in the excitement of a great trip!
Travel has played a huge role in my life. From years of family holidays to the Gold Coast and Fiji, where the kids spent hours in the pool or on the playground, to unforgettable highlights like Disneyland (they were 10 and 12 — the perfect age!), followed by a relaxing week in Mexico. These days, with older kids, we’re seeking more adventure. Our recent trip to Vietnam was a standout — from the vibrant energy of Ho Chi Minh City to the peaceful beauty of Hoi An's lanterns and Halong Bay. If you haven’t been, it’s a must!
Next on my list? Europe. While I’ve done a couple of quick trips
in the past, I’m keen to take the time to explore the diverse cultures and rich
history of the places I’ve spent years helping others discover.
Whether your trip is big or small, come in and see us at House of Travel Nelson — we’ll make sure it’s your best one yet.
