Never wonder what to do in New Zealand again.
Found NZ answers the question everyone knows too well: “So... what do you want to do today?”
Whether you have a spare hour, a free Saturday, or a whole week to fill, Found NZ helps turn it into a plan in seconds.
DISCOVER 750+ ACTIVITIES ACROSS NEW ZEALAND
Explore a hand-curated collection covering all 15 regions of New Zealand. Find beaches, walks and hikes, playgrounds, splash pads, cycle trails, museums, wildlife encounters, cafés, wineries, golf courses, fishing and camping spots, iconic attractions, and more.
Every activity is checked by a real person, with new places added every week.
FOR LOCALS, VISITORS, AND EVERYONE IN BETWEEN
Parents looking for something to do with the kids before lunch. Couples planning a weekend away. Solo explorers. Families on holiday. Visitors discovering New Zealand for the first time.
However you explore, Found NZ helps you make more of your time.
A FEED BUILT AROUND YOU
Tell Found NZ what you’re into — whether you’re a parent of toddlers, a keen hiker, a wine enthusiast, a weekend golfer, or all of the above.
Your For You feed surfaces activities that match your interests, your crew, your region, and how far you’re willing to drive.
REAL DRIVE TIMES
Forget misleading straight-line distances. Found NZ uses real road-network drive times from your location.
Filter activities from “Within 30 minutes” all the way to “Anywhere in NZ” and find places that actually fit your day.
PLAN A FULL DAY TRIP
Choose a destination and build an itinerary for the day, including where to stop, what to do, where to eat, and where to fuel up.
Enter your vehicle make and model along with your local petrol price, and Found NZ can estimate your total round-trip fuel cost before you leave home.
SEARCH LIKE YOU TALK
Search naturally with phrases like:
“Free things to do on a rainy day”
“Somewhere to burn off energy”
“Things to do with toddlers”
“A good walk with a café nearby”
Smart search understands what you mean, not just what you typed.
MADE FOR LIVING IN NEW ZEALAND
Found NZ was built by someone who moved to New Zealand wanting to see and experience as much of the country as possible — while also working a regular job, raising a family, and fitting adventures into everyday life.
Because exploring New Zealand isn’t just about big holidays and bucket-list trips. Sometimes it’s finding somewhere new after work, planning a Saturday with the kids, discovering a hidden spot close to home, or making the most of a long weekend.
The hard part was always the same: deciding what to do, finding places that suited the time available, working out how far to travel, what it would cost, and how to fit it all together.
Found NZ was built to make that easier.
From Northland to Southland, city playgrounds to back-country tracks, quick local outings to unforgettable road trips — Found NZ helps you explore more of the country you live in, one day at a time.
