Getting around in New Zealand

When you fly to New Zealand, renting a car is one of the best ways to explore both islands. Consider bundling car rental and accommodation with your New Zealand flight booking as you could unlock Expedia’s excellent package savings. With a set of wheels, you’re free to enjoy the country’s idyllic countryside at your own pace. The scenic drive from Auckland to the Coromandel Peninsula is especially pleasant thanks to its secluded beaches and native forests. To move between the North and South Islands, you’ll need to catch a ferry across the Cook Strait. Although there’s public transport in Auckland, the city is spread out, so a car rental around Auckland is still a good idea to get around the city. When it comes to longer distances, domestic flights are one of your best choices.

Must-see attractions in New Zealand

Fly to New Zealand with Expedia and explore the otherworldly scenery that became the iconic backdrop for the Lord of the Rings films.

Take a scenic ferry ride across the Cook Strait to Picton, a picturesque town nestled at the heart of the Marlborough Sounds. Continue onto Christchurch, a city known for its English heritage and the meandering Avon River. Further south, Queenstown is one the world’s adventure sports capitals. The South Island is home to dramatic landscapes, including fjords, waterfalls, and glaciers. Be sure to check out Lake Wakatipu and Milford Sound when visiting the region.

Tips for travelling in New Zealand

Before you book tickets to New Zealand, check on government websites for the latest entry requirements. Canadians can stay visa-free for up to 6 months, though it’s smart to double check as policies may change. Remember to drive on the left side of the road, too. You’ll encounter a multitude of fascinating Maori cultural sites spread throughout the country. When visiting, show respect to their culture and traditions, and follow any guidelines or instructions by your hosts. The weather can vary greatly, so it’s a good idea to pack layers and clothes appropriate for both beaches and mountains.
