Even though New Zealand isn’t a big country, especially compared to its gigantic neighbour Australia, don’t let that fool you in thinking that there isn’t a great deal to see and do in the land of Kiwis. The country is nicely split into the two main islands, so conveniently named the North and the South Island. So far, I’ve only visited the north but I found there weren’t as many blog posts out there on a decent itinerary to follow. The south is easy, as you can pretty much just do a big loop, but the north is a bit trickier. Therefore, I’ve detailed my one three week road trip itinerary of the beautiful green north island.
Auckland – days 1-3
Seems like a good place to start? The busiest and most populated city in New Zealand. Some people really don’t like Auckland, so maybe just start here and set yourself a good base before setting out on the open road. Also, Auckland is a good place to buy a car as the city is full of backpackers.
But when not car searching or twiddling your thumbs, then take a gander at the likes of Mount Eden, Auckland Art Gallery and Auckland Museum, which is a really decent museum and worth a few hours of your time!
