Self Drive - 12 day Auckland to Queenstown
A Classic New Zealand self drive itinerary from the largest city Auckland to the gateway of the south island Queenstown. Head south
via the central Region of the north island which sits on a volcanic plateau and is studded with geothermal
activity. At its centre is the immense cobalt-blue Lake Taupo, a submerged volcanic crater the size of Singapore. Nearby, barges glide through the underground streams of the Waitomo Caves. Head onward to the capital Wellington and the ferry ride to the south island and its incredible biodiversity.
Driving south with the snow-capped ridges and low-lying glaciers of the South Alps
to your east. The isolated rainforests and limestone formations of the West Coast
lead to the glacier area and onward to Queenstown’s ancient beech-tree forests.
