Welcome to New Zealand! You will fly into Christchurch on South Island and depart from Auckland on the North, with 2 weeks in between to create your own adventure.

We’ve included 14 nights campervan hire complete with inclusive insurance and suitable for 4 people. New Zealand is extremely self-drive friendly and there are many places to stop and stay all over the country that are set up for those on a road trip. Head south to explore the spectacular lakes and glaciers of South Island, and the vineyards of Marlborough (class of world-class Sauvignon Blanc for the adults!), then take the ferry over to North Island.

Kids will enjoy watching how this traditional meal is cooked in the ground, and they’ll also love taking part in traditional dance shows and learning the games enjoyed by the Maori children.
