New Zealand: Nord til sør på 12 dager

New Zealand

Oversikt

New Zealand's two islands are different enough to feel like separate trips: Auckland's harbour city and a geothermal, Māori-culture stop in Rotorua on the North Island, then a domestic flight south to Queenstown — the self-declared adventure capital of the world — for mountains, lakes and adrenaline sports beneath the Southern Alps.

  • A geothermal walk and Māori cultural evening (hangi) in Rotorua

Verdt å vite

  • Long-haul flights make this an expensive, far destination for most travellers
  • Distances between regions are large — this route needs a domestic flight, not just driving
  • Weather in the South Island changes fast — pack for four seasons in a day
