ADRENALIN RUSH—the Luge and Sky swing have accessible options, just check ahead to gauge suitability.<br />
Looking for advice and inspiration for a<br />
summer road trip? Here’s part one of a<br />
three-part series that we hope will bring you<br />
both. It covers a classic Kiwi route that<br />
delivers beautiful scenery, culture, unique<br />
activities and the magnificent beaches of the<br />
Bay of Plenty, all from an accessible<br />
perspective. Christine Gold from Freedom<br />
Mobility starts the series with an overview of<br />
what is available in Rotorua.<br />
The route from the central North Island to the Bay of<br />
Plenty is a New Zealand treasure. It offers so much to so<br />
many people and has become a classic Kiwi holiday<br />
journey as well as a staple cruise ship tour for passengers<br />
disembarking at Tauranga.<br />
The sheer variety of what’s on offer means there’s a ton of<br />
accessible options too. So, if you’re looking at planning a<br />
road trip this summer, the 12-day itinerary we cover in<br />
—Christine Gold<br />
There’s so much to see and<br />
do in and around Rotorua<br />
you could spend your whole<br />
holiday here.<br />
this three-part series might be perfect. You can of course<br />
do it in reverse, take bits out and shorten it, or even just<br />
dip your toes in for a part you particularly fancy!<br />
Actually, choosing a base and doing days out can be just as<br />
enjoyable and avoids the constant loading and unloading of<br />
luggage. As well as our suggestions here, check out the<br />
Accessible Travel Forum for NZ Facebook group for some<br />
great tips on finding accessible holiday homes. Visit Making<br />
