Enjoy the freedom of your own camper on this road trip around New Zealand’s beautiful nature. Cozy small towns, fantastic beaches and plenty of hiking opportunities await you here.
There is hardly any more beautiful and diverse nature than that in New Zealand as featured on diseaseslearning. Outstanding experiences await around every corner and it is not many hours drive from delicious sandy beaches to volcanoes and snow-capped mountains. In New Zealand, you have everything within a manageable distance. In your own camper, you have complete freedom to decide the route and a good opportunity to get out into the nooks and crannies of the country, the small communities and the magnificent national parks that not many get to see.
Your journey begins with two days in Auckland on your own. Use them to experience the city on foot or for example on a boat trip around the harbor. Then pick up your camper and start your road trip in New Zealand. You have the camper for 21 days and with free miles you can freely set the course where it suits you. Once you have dropped off the camper in Christchurch, you will return to Scandinavia. On the way home, it is possible to make a stop in e.g. Sydney or Singapore. We also have plenty of New Zealand experts who can help you with travel-yourself routes, what you absolutely must not miss and tips on good campsites.
