Frequently asked questions

How much does a Nelson vacation package cost?

What are the cheapest months to go to Nelson?
July, August and September are great times to search for cheap Nelson vacation packages. Traveling in less busy periods means you can typically find lower prices on accommodations and flights.
How many days is enough for Nelson?
Nelson vacations come in many shapes and sizes, but to get a true feel for this place, we'd suggest 2 days is about right. In this timeframe, you can fit in headline attractions like Nelson Provincial Museum and Founders Park and seek out some lesser-known gems. Don't miss out on neighborhoods such as The Wood and Nelson City Centre either. If you're clever with your time, you can even schedule a day trip from Nelson too.
Is it worth booking a vacation package to Nelson?
Nelson has all the ingredients you need for a memorable getaway — coastal beaches, walking trails and distilleries and craft breweries are just the start.

Bagging a cheap Nelson package deal is a breeze with Expedia. After you've entered your destination and travel dates under our "Packages" tab, set your budget, add some filters and see what's available.
