New Zealand

Niue is the perfect spot for nature lovers who want to explore somewhere new. Niue is full of Tracks, Walks & Caves. Nestled in the heart of Polynesia, it boasts incredible views and adventures all around.

New Zealand is nothing short of breathtaking! My husband and I spent nearly three incredible weeks driving the North and South Islands in early 2024, exploring this diverse and stunning country. With its ever-changing landscapes—from seas to mountains, glaciers to rainforests and subtropical canopies to volcanic terrains—New Zealand offers a wealth of natural beauty.

New Zealand is known for its captivating landscape, lush forests, friendly people, pristine beaches and geothermal activity. From white capped mountains, to rolling hills, and cruising through Fiordland National Park on the south island, and I hear, you may even spot a Hobbit or two on the north island. New Zealand truly is one of the most beautiful areas I have ever seen. This guide is for two weeks. I know you can hurry and do it in about one week, but I really do recommend taking your time and stretching it to at least two weeks.
