The Ultimate Kiwi Experience
It's hard not to fall in love with the southern island of New Zealand almost instantly. Its snow capped mountains, crystal clear waters and dramatic landscapes are not only breathtakingly beautiful, but provide the perfect ingredients for the one of the best road trips in the world. Take a look at our recommended stop offs or check out our Itineraries where you can find out about whale watching, walking along one of the most famous glaciers in the world (before it melts!) and cruising along some of the best roads on the planet. We know it's important to relax as well, and there's no better way to do it than to bathe in the hot volcanic pools.
