NEW ZEALAND
Made for the Open Road
New Zealand is a road tripper’s dream, where every drive feels like part of the adventure. In Aotearoa—the “Land of the Long White Cloud”—scenic highways wind from snow-capped Southern Alps to turquoise glacial lakes, emerald coastlines, and ancient rainforests.
Whether you’re taking in one island or two, there are so many great routes you can explore, offering a mix of natural beauty, cultural experiences and scenic drives. Travel at your own pace through geothermal landscapes in Rotorua, along the dramatic fjords of Milford Sound, and into the sun-soaked vineyards of Marlborough.
Here are some of the suggested road trip routes:
- North Island: Thermal Explorer Highway, Pacific Coast Highway, Twin Coast Discovery, Volcanic Loop Highway, Forgotten World Highway, Surf Highway 45 and the Classic New Zealand Wine Trail.
- South Island: Central Otago Touring Route, Alpine Pacific Touring Route, Inland Scenic Route 72 and the Southern Scenic Route.
