USA

A vast nation of diverse cultures and boundless opportunities

Nevada Valley Fire State Park

USA. The greatest country in the world to visit!

Yep, the world would be a pretty boring place without the USA - the land that makes movie stars, has streets paved with their famous names and has homes in Memphis once graced by Elvis. There’s so much to see and do, with a different experience in every state and around every corner. For foodies, there is no better place. From the All-American diner to corn dogs at baseball games, you won’t go hungry in the land of Uncle Sam. It’s a huge country, with an even bigger To-do list. 

Come and talk to our USA travel specialists and together let’s start planning your stateside adventure today!

Flight time.

A flight from Auckland to the West Coast of the USA, such as Los Angeles, takes about 12-13 hours. While it’s a long-haul flight, you’ll be arriving in the land of endless possibilities.

Calendar Icon

Best time to go.

The best times to visit the West Coast of the USA are from April to June and September to November, when the weather is milder and the tourist crowds are thinner.

Watch Icon

Time difference.

The West Coast of the USA is 19 hours behind New Zealand. This significant time difference will require some adjustment.
