This 10 Day New Zealand South Island Van Life Itinerary is the accumulation of HOURS of planning and research and includes an interactive map, directions and exact GPS coordinates of where to camp, stops and things to do, hiking and trail data, links to the best activities, best photo spots and times of day to shoot, where we ate, optional trip add ons and more in the form of a 10 day adventure itinerary! This is a mobile friendly itinerary so you can use it throughout your trip in real time. This is the exact itinerary we used this year with optional add ons along the way, and it works for Spring, Summer and Fall trips. We took all of our experience from our summer trip to New Zealand and our mishaps/what we wish we knew and compiled everything into this guide. The best part is as we go back to New Zealand again in the future, you’ll get access to all of our new information as well since these guides are synced with live updates! You’ll have it for life and can access it any time. Follow this guide exactly (weather and conditions permitting) for a guaranteed amazing set of experiences and vistas! Or, combine our insights with your own research to craft the trip of your dreams. Tag us in the photos you take - we'd love to see your experience! @theloverspassport

Planning a cruise to New Zealand and don't know what do in port? Here is a local's FREE guide to the best sights, activities and tours in New Zealand!

Heading on a cruise from Auckland? Make sure to pick up this guide. I've included all of my guides from the ports we docked in plus helpful information about the airport arrival procedures and departure information. New Zealand is a protected place and a lot of bio-security rules apply. You will find your self going through security before and after each ship embarkment/dis-embarkment along with needing extra time at airport security both ways.
