New Zealand Touring

Welcome to New Zealand Touring.com. This is site is designed to be a great resource and for tips and advice if your planning to travel to New Zealand in the near future. New Zealand is a fantastic place to vacation. For the adventurous you have ice climbing or for the tame at heart you have simple walks on the beach, to shopping. So much to do at every major town, it's very easy to miss something. Make sure you bring plenty of film and memory cards.
I will be covering the highlights of the activities on the North Island and the South Island. Starting at the capital city of Auckland, down the bottom of the South Island. There is way to much to see and do when you travel here, but I will try to get all the high points. New Zealand is one of the major tourism attractions in the world. A lot of the hotels in New Zealand have outstanding accommodations. Some of them rival 5 start hotel in the US. So make sure you call ahead for hotel reservations.

When you get off the plane in Auckland International Airport you will notice right off the bat that New Zealand is overflowing with culture. And the postcard views everywhere you turn. The biggest change you will see is the side of the road they drive on. Apollo Car Rentals is one of the best places to get a rental with the steering wheel on the opposite side. I think  campers is the best way to travel. You can wake up anywhere, the forest, the beach, or along side a paddock somewhere with thousand sheep. But of course staying in one of the many hotels on they way is fine, from what I can tell they are are all good. Depending on what town your in a hotel reservation will not be be needed. It's easy after you have done it a few times, but the New Zealanders are use to tourist coming over a trying to drive on the roads. You will soon notice that as you drive around from town to town, everything is clearly marked. Not just the towns, but all the attractions and things to do.

I plan to walk you through all the major hightlights through both islands. North Island, where the capital city Auckland and where the majority of the population lives. Hitting all  the major tourisim attractions on the way down the island to Wellington. Then across to the South Island on the Interislander (shown  above). A great way to see some of the coast is on the 3 hour crossing. Setting off from Picton, down through Christchurch and ending up in Milford Sound.
Will be going into detail about some of the atttractions and things to do on both islands. And believe me there are alot of things to do everywhere for the young and old.
