Drive around South Island new Zealand

The Road Trip's favorite places are falls and babieseals. Today's drive will take you through the Southern Alps to Hanmer Springs.

It is a real New Zealand treker. This evening you will spend the night in Wanaka, one of the most sought -after Kivi holiday hotspots on the shore of Lake Wanaka. There are many possibilities in and around Wanaka this mornings. If you' re looking for adventure, you can take a stroll at one of our most beloved 360-degree viewpoints over Lake Wanaka, Aspiring National Park and the Clutha River, the breathtaking view is definitely something for you!

You can also explore Stuart Landsborough's Puzzling World or go kayaking on the lakes. Your South Island trip this afternoons will take you via The Crown Range, New Zealand's highest motorway to Arrowtown, one of New Zealand's most important cities in the 1860s in the Goldry Frenzy to Central Otago.

It is only a brief drive to Queenstown'The Adventure Capital of the World' and your basis for the next 2 afternoons. There are many options in and around Queenstown today. Those of us who would rather start the days more relaxing cannot miss a 100 year old TSS Earnslaw Steam Ship or a stroll along Lake Wakatipu (we can arrange this for you at discounted prices).

Leaving Central Otago today through the Kawarau Gorge and Cromwell, you can stop off on the way to see a regional grocery store, taste "Real fruit ice cream" and taste some of New Zealand's renowned New Zealand beeswax. You may even have enough for one of the many brief strolls in the area with its magnificent vistas.

Or you can drive to one of our most popular vantage points overlooking Lake Tekapo, where you feel like you're on top of the globe. Hopefully you have made an unforgettable self-drive with us.
