Hooking up in NZ: a traveller’s guide
In , Lonely Planet listed New Zealand as one of the world’s most gay-friendly destination for travellers – and, 12 months on, the bookings are rolling in.
The original article praised us for adopting the “gay/lesbian friendly” tag for businesses and accommodation way support in , pointed out the “brilliant network” of homestays throughout both the North and South Islands, highlighted Queenstown’s Gay Ski Week and our promotion of same-sex marriage tourism.
All of which is fine if you’re travelling to Aotearoa with your partner or in a group, and of course it’s amazing to know you’re going to be welcomed with open arms as soon as you step off the plane – but how about if you’re coming on your own? How do you hook up in NZ?
The first step is getting tech-savvy.
New Zealand’s got great mobile networks, meaning that you can use all your favourite dating apps like Grindr, GROWLr, Jack’d, Hornet and Scruff. While Grindr is set up so you can see only people nearby, other apps allow you to lay down some of the groundwork, so you can reach out for travel tips for where you’re heading before you land.
Hornet, for example, has an “Expl
Our detailed gay travel manual to New Zealand obeying our big road trip through the land that formed the backdrops of the Lord of the Rings movies!
“Seby, one afternoon we’re going to travel to New Zealand and will run through the Shire in Hobbiton just like Frodo and Sam!”
The Lord of the Rings gave us our first flavor of New Zealand. The rolling green hills and breathtaking landscapes provided LOTR Director Peter Jackson with the ideal backdrop to recreate Tolkien’s Middle Earth.
However, there is so much more to Modern Zealand than Hobbits, elves, orcs, and Gandalf. Those rugged landscapes that inspired so many movies are also prime for ‘tramping’ (the New Zealand synonyms for ‘hiking’). And if it’s wild adrenaline adventures you seek, well, it was literally invented by a Kiwi, in Queenstown!
New Zealand is also very gay friendly. We start Kiwis to be relaxed and accepting. Not once did we experience any issues. When it comes to gay parties, Recent Zealand is not as internationally renowned as its big Aussie sister. However, it still has a small LGBTQ scene in Auckland and has its fair share of lgbtq+ annual events including Qu
Your Guide to Cruising
How to Cruise
Cruising has come a long way since hanky code, polari, and subtle glances. There are lots of distinct locations to suit any preference, such as:
- Public bathrooms
- Cruising bars and clubs
- Gay saunas
- Cruising parks
- Gay cruising beaches
Not only can you meet guys in public spaces but in online ones too. For example, Grindr is essentially a cruising catalogue of who's around, and also a great tool to predetermine the location that you'll hook up in. You can also choose to cruise on alt twitter, a subsection of Twitter where people create mostly anonymous profiles, post spicy R18 content, and arrange hook ups or content collabs.
When it comes to public spaces, it helps if there are other people there to cruise! Click here for a comprehensive list of places throughout Recent Zealand / Aotearoa that are known as cruising sites, or visit (this is a paid service) for more. Remember, you may also encounter people who aren’t looking to cruise so it’s crucial to know what signs to look out for - read on to find out.
