Flight time
The flight from Auckland to Mexico takes roughly 18 hours with a stopover. A long flight is a small price to pay for the warmth and vibrancy of a holiday like this.
Tacos, temples and total joy
Mexico personifies the word vibrant... a riot of colour, culture and warmth everywhere you go.
Wander through the ancient ruins of Chichén Itzá or Palenque, where you can almost hear whispers of past civilisations. Sink your toes into Tulum’s white sands, snorkel in turquoise cenotes, or throw yourself into the joyful chaos of Mexico City’s markets and plazas.
Food is everything here... from the smoky spice of tacos al pastor to the citrusy freshness of ceviche and the rich, chocolatey depths of mole, every bite feels like a celebration.
But Mexico isn’t just about food and history, it’s music, murals and magic in the everyday. Mariachi bands serenade in the streets, handcrafts dazzle in every colour imaginable, and the warmth of the people is something you’ll carry home with you.
Mexico will wrap you up in a giant hug!

Best time to go
December to April is Mexico’s dry season, perfect for outdoor adventures. With sunny weather it’s the ideal time to enjoy nature and the beaches - but be prepared for party crowds
Time difference
Mexico is 17–19 hours behind New Zealand due to daylight saving in both countries and regional differences. You'll be a bit jet lagged but the spirit of the lovely locals will help distract your tired brain
