South Pacific
New Zealand
Two islands, endless road trips, fiords and vineyards.
New Zealand is a self-drive country: short distances, spectacular roads and a new landscape every hour. The North Island brings Maori culture, geothermal country and wine; the South Island brings Fiordland, the Southern Alps, glaciers and the walking tracks. Two to three weeks lets you do both without rushing.
