We recommend driving less yet seeing more.
Although New Zealand may look like a long thin country that’s easy to drive from north to south in two weeks, the reality is quite different.
The country is predominantly hilly and mountainous, meaning that roads are often winding and require driving at speeds less than the limit. By driving a lesser distance of around 200km each travel day, you’ll have more time to enjoy the outdoors — rather than being stuck behind the wheel.
