Welcome to Wellington! This charming capital city is nestled between green hills and a harbor. Wellington is the center of New Zealand’s film and special effects industry. There is something in this city for everyone including Marvel exhibitions, birding, shopping, museums, a historic cable car, coffee culture, Cuba Street, and more. Home to the world's first fully fenced predator-free urban sanctuary, Zealandia. Native bird populations flourish here and you will see several endangered species.

The hills and neighborhoods and surrounding native land are not made for heels!

Milford Sound, known as the unofficial 8th Wonder of the World, is one of my favourite places in New Zealand and one of the countries most stunning natural attractions. Located in the heart of Fiordland National Park, Milford Sound is home to rugged landscapes, mountain peaks, fiords, waterfalls, and some of the best hiking tracks in the world. I’m a big, max-out-your-24-hours kind of traveler, so it’s not often I leave a place feeling as though my time there is unfinished. But I remember driving away from Fiordland, unable to take my eyes away from the tops of her mountains, feeling lucky to live in New Zealand and knowing I’d be back for more. However, most people only get the chance to visit Milford Sound once in their lifetime. So, I want to help you make the most of it! I am a lover of hiking and this guide reflects it! You'll find two walks included that take 3 hours each. If you don't enjoy the outdoors, that's okay too! Feel free to omit them and choose another activity from my list at the end. This itinerary is designed to be done in a campervan and does include driving. I HIGHLY recommend travelling New Zealand by campervan to stay in some of the most incredible places. BUT I'll also give you hotel recommendations too, just in case you're not into van-life. In this guide, you'll find: • An overview of Milford Sound • Typical costs and how much I spent on my trip • The best road trip stops on your drive from Queenstown • Top rated accomodation and my favourite campsites • Custom interactive maps full of all the important locations like campsites, supermarkets, airports and viewpoints on top of your full itinerary • Local tips and inspiration, must-visit spots, hiking tracks, bucket list activities and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.  • Much, much more.

My favourite part of the North Island for outdoor adventures in Aotearoa New Zealand! And it's totally underrated. Yes, Rotorua smells like sulphur... but that's because it's like, literally otherworldly. While it's nice to visit in the summer, I love a winter getaway in Rotorua because it's easy to warm up at one of the hot springs. Neither Rotorua nor Taupō are culinary destinations - but I've rounded up some decent places to eat and drink when you're in town.
