NZ is a country of drivers and one of the most convenient ways for a tourist to enjoy this beautiful country is to rent a automobile. Car Hire New Zealand can be organized online, try the DriveNZ.co.nz website, and a low priced vehicle costs as low as NZ $35 per day. Even lower rates are given for bookings of a week or more and you can utilise their Auckland Airport Car Rental collect and return services.
For travellers who prefer a structured visit, the 7 day upper North Island New Zealand road tour is most suited. This beautiful region has various spectacular natural scenery, places of historical interest and friendly inhabitants. Day number 1 of the itinerary is spent exploring Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city. With a population of more than 1 million, many of whom are Maori, Polynesian or Asian, it has a particularly multi-ethnic character and is a quick-paced exciting place.
After taking in the sights of Auckland city, you then start your journey in earnest, travelling 240 kilometres north to Paihia. Located in the beautiful Bay of Islands, the town is a perfect place to spend the third day, lying on the beach or paying a visit to some nearby historical sights, such as Russell, the original capital of New Zealand.
Day number 4 involves the longest drive on the tour, from Paihia to Rotorua. The drive is 474 km’s and takes 7-8 hours. Rotorua is a huge tourist centre, and visitors gather to see the geysers and boiling mud pools and enjoy the curing thermal springs. Cultural shows are often given by Maori cultural groups, and if you have the opportunity to see one, it is a great experience.
On the fifth day, you travel only 80 km’s to Taupo in the centre of the North Island of New Zealand. Thousands of years ago, a massive volcanic eruption created what is now Lake Taupo, and the town overlooks this picturesque natural wonder. It is a scenic town and during the summer, it lures many water sport enthusiasts. On day number 6, you journey on to Whitianga, in the Coromandel, a region popular for its thinly inhabited beaches and amazing scenery. You end your tour on the seventh day in Auckland, where you can once again enjoy all that the city offers.
This trip provides an amazing overview of an area which is as interesting as it is diverse. From the noisy metropolis of Auckland to the isolation of the Coromandel you will have an opportunity to really enjoy the unique flavor of this amazing country of New Zealand.
