The Perfect 6 Day Itinerary

Here’s the perfect six-day road trip itinerary through New Zealand’s North Island – including where to stay, what to see, and what to pack!

With spectacular volcanoes, beaches galore, ancient caves, and cute bohemian towns, you won’t run out of things to do in New Zealand’s north island.

New Zealand is made up of two large islands – the North Island and the South Island — and I recently had the opportunity to rent a campervan and road trip through the north. I visited waterfalls, went hiking, and relaxed in geothermal pools. I swam in pristine waters and boated through some of the most beautiful glowworm caves in the world.

Because we only had six days in New Zealand, we focused on everything south of Auckland, but if you have more time, then going north of Auckland is definitely worth it too. We visited the Bay of Islands during our 17-Day South Pacific cruise, so we decided to head south for our short road trip.
