New Zealand booking website bookme, the local website you need to know about

If you're planning an activity in New Zealand, there's a great local website you should know about. It's the New Zealand booking website bookme. Locals use bookme a lot to book activities. I thought it would be a good idea to share it with you if you're traveling independently.



Why we recommend bookme, a New Zealand booking website

New Zealand is known around the world for its pristine wilderness, but it's also known for its many activities. While many people come to New Zealand to do a variety of activities, the local high Price and activity costs can be frustrating.

But it wouldn't make sense to come all the way to New Zealand and not be able to do the activities you wanted to do. That's where bookme comes in, a website that helps you book activities at a better price than the on-site prices or the prices offered by New Zealand travel websites.

I'm a big fan of hot springs, and I have fond memories of frequenting them at affordable prices through the bookme website.

New Zealand booking websites bookme websiteis a very intuitive website. Pictured above is the main screen, where you can book activities (things to do) and restaurants at affordable prices.

Right now, it looks like you can book activities and restaurants in three countries: New Zealand, Australia, and Fiji. Let's focus on Things to do in New Zealand.

The first thing you need to do on bookme, the New Zealand booking website, is to decide on a region. Auckland, Rotorua, and Queenstown are probably the most popular choices for activity-oriented travelers.

We can't say that Bookme is 100% cheaper than other booking sites, but we can say that if you choose your dates and times well, you can get the same effect at a more reasonable price.



1) Queenstown Activities Milford Sound Cruise

In the Where to in New Zealand field, enter the region where you want to do the activity. For example, I'm going to enter Queenstown.

For reference, Queenstown is a major tourist destination located on the South Island of New Zealand. It's a tourist city known for its beautiful natural beauty and wide range of activities.

When I did a search for Queenstown activities, the top result was the Milford Sound Cruise pictured. The Milford Sound Cruise is an activity where you can take a cruise in the Milford Sound area and enjoy the spectacular views of the Fiord Road waterfront.

We're going to select the Milford Sound Cruise - Mitre Peak Cruise activity, which is the top activity in the photo above. Please note that there are several companies that offer tours of Milford Sound, and there may be differences in the size of the cruises they have and the services they offer.

Mitre Peak Cruise is one of the cruise companies, and if you're interested in taking a Milford Sound tour, you can check out their website at Milford Sound Tour Bus vs Self-Drive postfor more information.

Find Milford Sound cruise dates, times and prices

Once you've chosen your favorite cruise, you can see the prices for adults and children, depending on the dates and times you want to book, right on the New Zealand booking website bookme, as shown above.

Another New Zealand travel website, getyourguide, also offers deals on Milford Sound.

Cruise deals on the getyourguide website

The prices for the June 20 Milford Sound tour on the Bookme and getyourguide websites are listed below, but as mentioned earlier, we want you to be aware that prices will vary depending on the cruise, services, etc. you are taking.

[Milford Sound Tour Pricing].

  • Bookme: 11:30 Adult $129 (Cruise: Mitre Peak Cruise)
  • Getyourguide: 12:30 Adult $165 (Cruise: Discover More)


This way, you can compare the sites based on your dates and times, and hopefully book an activity at a lower cost.

However, sometimes the website of the company running the activity will offer a more reasonable price, but in general, bookme seems to offer higher discounts more often.

As spectacular as Milford Sound is, it's a day-long journey, so if you don't have that much time (or stamina), we recommend taking the TSS Unslow Steamship Tour(with meals) is recommended.


2) Polynesian Spa, Rotorua

My second activity on New Zealand booking website bookme is the Polynesian Spa in Rotorua. I'm a big fan of spas.

I also went here when my mom was visiting New Zealand. Let's check out the price difference between bookme and Polynesian Spa's official website first.

Booking Polynesian Spa through the bookme website

Polynesian deluxe lake spa via New Zealand booking website bookme usually costs $45 or $56 per adult for bookings before 10:30am. This is cheaper than $74.95 per adult on the official website of Polynesian Spa Rotorua for the same day.

The price per adult and child on the official website is $74.95, but if you look at the Bookme booking site above, you can see the discounted price for adults, but the price for children is still $74.95, right?

That's because DELUXE LAKE SPA was originally designed for adults to relax. Without kids. We don't keep kids out, but by making it the same price as adults like that, we've created a little bit of a threshold.

And this strategy means that even if you're a Bookme, you won't get a child discount. By the way, the Deluxe lake spa has the best outdoor spa in the Polynesian.


Anyway, if you make good use of bookme, you can save between $20 and $30 per person for adults.

3) How to make the most of New Zealand booking website bookme

bookme filter function

When you select a region and search in bookme, you may find that it takes a long time to find the activities you want, especially if there are many activities to do in Queenstown. In this case, you can use the filter function as shown above to find your favorite activities faster.

After searching by region, you'll see a filter button, and if you click it, you'll see different types of tags like the one above, and you can select the one you want and search for it to see only the activities you want.


Finalize

We've spent some time getting to know bookme, a New Zealand booking website. When it comes to booking activities in New Zealand, there are a few ways to do so.

1) How to book your total New Zealand activities

  • Go directly to the onsite booking site to book an activity
  • Activity (Bungee Jump, Jetboat, Hobbiton etc.) Go to the official website and make a reservation
  • Book a tour (day, multi-day, multi-night) with a local tour operator in New Zealand
  • Use the New Zealand booking website Bookme


I wouldn't say that booking on Bookme is always cheaper. As I mentioned above, depending on the date and time, you can sometimes find cheaper prices compared to other booking sites, and if you take advantage of this, you can enjoy at least one more activity at a reasonable price.

However, in general, I think it's cheaper in my opinion, and a word of caution: when booking an activity, be sure to check carefully what is included in the price.

Sometimes the difference in price is due to differences in service content, so it's important to keep this in mind.
