Proudly LGBTQ+ Experts and Welcoming to All Travelers


New Zealand entices LGBTQ+ travelers with its majestic landscapes, rich Maori culture, progressive values, and luxurious amenities. Gay New Zealand travel combines indulgence and adventure, making it an ideal destination for a luxury escape.

Here at Out Of Office, we truly understand the world you live in, and the world you want to explore. Our attention to detail, exceptional service and deep understanding of both luxury travel and LGBTQ+ travel make us a fantastic choice for those looking for a travel experience where exclusivity meets inclusivity.

We recommend


Tailor your LGBTQ-friendly New Zealand vacation to your tastes with bespoke private tours that blend thrilling outdoor adventures, like helicopter hikes on glaciers, with stays at secluded gay-friendly New Zealand resorts. These retreats focus on guest relaxation, offering couples’ spa treatments, stargazing from private hot tubs, and tranquil garden strolls for a rejuvenating experience.

In Marlborough wine country, unwind by tasting award-winning vintages at LGBTQ-owned vineyards and enjoy farm-to-table culinary delights. For a cultural experience, explore the geothermal pools and Maori rock carvings of Rotorua, then retreat to a luxurious hilltop lodge overlooking Lake Wakatipu and the awe-inspiring Southern Alps.

Take a private luxury cruise through Milford Sound, where you can see native penguins, dolphins, seals, and whales up close. New Zealand LGBT resorts invite you to create bespoke gay vacations as unique as you are, with options ranging from heli-biking through pristine wilderness to world-class wine tastings and serene fjord cruises through Doubtful Sound.

New Zealand offers diverse experiences for LGBTQ+ travelers, ensuring a luxurious, inclusive, and unforgettable journey from one adventure to the next.

At Out Of Office, we specialize in combining inclusive service with exclusive travel experiences, but you can find non-LGBTQ+ specific information on travel in New Zealand by visiting our New Zealand destination page.

Luxury Gay Vacations in New Zealand

New Zealand is considered one of the world’s most LGBTQ-friendly countries, with progressive laws and welcoming attitudes in cities like Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch. Same-sex marriage has been legal nationwide since 2013. This all makes it a great pick for a luxury gay vacation.

The Kiwi emphasis on openness, community and fairness means LGBTQ+ travelers can fully be themselves without fear of discrimination. While rural areas remain conservative, travelers stick to New Zealand’s progressive urban hubs where diversity is intrinsic to everyday life.

Annual pride festivals in main cities provide lively celebrations of diversity and equality. There’s also plenty of gay bars and clubs to explore, with drag shows a-plenty.

Of course, New Zealand is also a breathtaking destination for lovers of lush landscapes. You’ll find views here that you’ll remember forever. Whether you’re after adventure or relaxation, you’ll find it on a New Zealand gay vacation.
