Destinations in New Zealand
To the east of Auckland CBD is a 400km stretch of pristine coastline, where the water is crystal clear and the offshore islands & rock formations make you feel like you’re somewhere in SE Asia.

As soon as I arrived at Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park I was blown away by how absolutely stunning the scenery is! And, I promise hiking in Mt Cook NP will be the highlight of your trip. Plus, the views along the Hooker Valley Track are unbeatable!
Piha is by far the best day trip from Auckland, in winter or summer! This area is often overlooked by visitors but Piha is such a stunning part of the Auckland region. So much wild landscape that’s easy to get to from Auckland's city center. Anyone who loves the outdoors will have an epic day in Piha. So many coastal walking trails, Forrests hikes, waterfalls, and Piha's black sand beach. Keep reading because below I share everything you need to know about the best day trip from Auckland.
New Zealand’s capital city sits rights at the bottom of the North Island and this city is an absolute gem. I’m excited to share with you the best free things to do in Wellington. Plus, a few things that are reasonably cheap.
Queenstown is located at the bottom of New Zealand’s South Island. The town is set on Lake Wakatipu and is surrounded by layers and layers of snow-capped mountains. This detailed itinerary for 5 days in Queenstown includes exploring Queenstown and other close-by regions.
