Driving into Weheka late in the afternoon, we were excited to get out, stretch our legs and discover all of the adventurous things to do in Fox Glacier.
It wasn’t an overly long or difficult drive from Greymouth (on the West Coast of the South Island) and we had stopped for lunch at Franz Josef, however my desire for adrenaline fuelled my restlessness.
It’s now been over 2 weeks since I started my month long holiday travelling around the South Island of New Zealand.
As I mentioned early, I would be dividing my 4 week itinerary into two separate stages, therefore reducing the amount of long distance driving required over 2 week periods which then presents the opportunity for an interval or short respite.
New Zealand has many popular tourist destinations that continue to attract travellers from all over the world, none more charming than the small coastal town of Kaikoura.
Located 181 kilometers (2 hrs 26 mins) north of Christchurch on the South Island, Kaikoura is nestled between the Southern Alps and the South Pacific Ocean.
With an abundance of natural attractions, adventurous activities & marine wildlife New Zealand’s South Island is perfectly suited for any type of driving holiday.
Due to it’s size, exploring and experiencing all that New Zealand’s South Island has to offer can be tiring which is why I decided to divide my 4 week itinerary into two stages.
New Zealand has a wealth of national treasures and holiday destinations worth exploring which can make planning your travel itinerary a little difficult.
When you start to consider that the perfect road trip of New Zealand wouldn’t be complete without visiting the North (Te Ika-a-Māui) and South Island (Te Waipounamu) it’s no wonder that indecision begins to take hold…
