For Spectacular Nature & Adventure: New Zealand 

Go to New Zealand to enjoy its incredibly diverse and stunning landscapes in summer weather. Temperatures are pleasantly warm across both islands. It's prime time for hiking lush national parks like Fiordland or Tongariro, experiencing the thrill of adventure sports in Queenstown, or relaxing on beautiful beaches. Long daylight hours allow for extended exploration of towering mountains, volcanic plateaus, and pristine coastlines. Also, imagine celebrating NYE so much ahead of your friends back in the UK!

December is an excellent time to visit Cambodia with sunny days (26−28°C) and low humidity. This is the ideal season to delve into Angkor Wat, with clear skies for stunning sunrise or sunset views. Explore Phnom Penh's historical sites or relax on the pristine southern beaches of Koh Rong. Cambodia's compact size makes it ideal for combining with neighbouring countries such as Thailand or Vietnam for a multi-centre Southeast Asian adventure.
