NEW ZEALAND Try somewhere New New Zealand is the epitome of easy-going, but tackling it in the right order is key. Thankfully, NZ expert David Whitley has packed the best bits of both islands into one seamless, four-week itinerary New Zealand’s triumph is to cram unparalleled amounts of one-off experiences into a single epic trip. You can’t cover the whole country in a three- to four-week self-drive adventure, but you can give it a darned good shot and pile up top-tier memories in the process. Here’s a route that fits in as much as possible, with the journey broken down into easy chunks – minus the odd tourist trap that’s simply not worth your time or money. Days 1-3: Bay of Islands (and beyond) After what will have felt like an eternity in the air, it might come as a blow to know that the best place to properly start your New Zealand adventure is not in Auckland – where you’ll fly into – but another 227km north, in the Bay of Islands. But it’s worth it – for baize-green hills, stone-walled sheep farms and bountiful sunny beaches. It’s a short, $100-ish hop on an internal flight or a three-and-a-half-hour drive (you can pick up a hire car on landing). If doing the latter, you’ll want to overnight in Auckland first, picking up a hire car the following morning. Several cruises flit lazily around the Bay of Islands’ jewel-like archipelago, the novelty among them the full-day Cream Trip (dolphincruises.co.nz), which doubles as the local mail run. Dolphin-watching, lounging in the boat’s netting above the waves, and beach-lazing on lush green Urupukupuka Island are thrown in. There’s spiritual nourishment, too, at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds 54 worldtravellermagazine.com
