Flight time
It takes around 24 hours to fly from Auckland to Croatia, including a stopover. Despite the long flight, Croatia’s stunning coastlines and rich history make it a must-visit destination.
Croatia truly is a destination that ticks all the boxes: picture-perfect beaches, enchanting island hideaways, delicious cuisine, and a rich tapestry of culture and history.
Imagine yourself exploring sun-drenched coves along the shimmering Adriatic Sea, enjoying seafood fresh from the ocean, or sampling award-winning wines on islands like sunny Korčula and vibrant, red-roofed Hvar. Venture inland, and you’ll discover stunning landscapes—from rugged peaks to rolling vineyards and charming medieval towns.

It takes around 24 hours to fly from Auckland to Croatia, including a stopover. Despite the long flight, Croatia’s stunning coastlines and rich history make it a must-visit destination.
The best time to visit Croatia is from May to September, especially if you’re interested in the coastal regions. The summer months are perfect for enjoying the Adriatic Sea and exploring the islands.
Croatia is 10 hours behind New Zealand, so you’ll need to adjust to a significant time difference.
