So you would like to see New Zealand up close and personal?

A country where 80% of the four million residents live in cities leaving the rest of the country to travel freely. The countryside consists of 50% permanent pasture and 28% forest and woodland and a whole lot of sheep providing a multitude of fantastic sights to enjoy.
New Zealand has a sophisticated dynamic culture starting a thousand years ago with the first settlers of the ancestors of the present day Maori people. A couple of hundred years ago the European settlers arrived to carve a home from the wilderness. Mixed into the brew is the diversity of Pacific and Asian cultures. A great combination of people.

Travel writers seem to use the words stunning and awesome a lot and for good reason. For size perspective New Zealand is about the size of the US state of Colorado but with over 15,000 kilometres of coastline more than the entire US. Any wonder it is so water oriented? Predominantly a mountainous backbone through the centre flowing out to coastal plains. It has a basic temperate climate ranging from sub-tropical climes in the Far North to Antarctic winds bringing the cold in its full glory during the winter months in the South.

A majestic land known for its untold beauty and the openess and honesty of its warm friendly people. Take in the vistas of the Southern Alps, explore the fiords, spy on penguins waddling ashore in the evening at the beach, check out lazing seals spread out along rocky shorelines or visit an Albatross colony close up.

Perhaps you will walk one of the famous tracks, bungy jump, take a jet boat ride, scuba dive, surf, climb a mountain, walk a glacier. Maybe you plan to hook into one of the trophy trout or salmon in the myriad of lakes and streams where they abound or hunt for trophy game such as the elusive tahr high in the alpine regions.

Along with the natural world New Zealand can boast some of the finest award winning wine and culinary delights anywhere in the world. Dine out on fresh Bluff oysters or world famous green-lip mussels straight from the boat in the Marlborough Sounds, or special delights such as farm raised venison or ostrich are a must as is visiting the world class wine regions for a tasting. Everywhere one can find fresh fruit and vegetables straight from the orchard and farm at roadside stands. There are no limits in mouth-watering delights discovered along the roads of New Zealand.

You may plan to do the trip backpacking and take advantage of the thousands of fine backpacker hostels available or one of the homestays or B&B’s. One of the most exciting ways to see the country is by rental caravan where you have the freedom to go where you please when you please and holiday parks abound plus plenty of free parking along the way. There are a vast amount of tours to every known site available. Nowhere in the world are there more five star rated lodges and hotels than in New Zealand for your enjoyment. The mode of holiday you choose is available no matter how you plan to enjoy.

I am sure you have certain concepts of what you wish to do in the time allotted. But I have always noted whenever I go to a new place that I learn later I missed something I would have dearly liked to have seen or done.

How many times have you been in a strange city and if you had only known the street that had what you wanted was only one street over but without local knowledge or good luck you went the opposite direction. You wonder what’s down that road but you don’t want to waste the time in case it may be nothing. You might want to take advantage of our holiday itinerary service whereby we custom create a holiday package just for you.

To enjoy your traveling holiday that takes you through vast areas of the country in order to see specific areas or do specific things you go through kilometres of countryside no one mentions in the travel brochure. In fact the bulk of the trip is taken up on the road targeting specific areas you have plans to visit. Since the major part of you holiday is on the road wouldn’t it be nice if you received local knowledge of the areas you are traveling before you go and even as you are moving along?

Everything you read before you go to a new place is usually general or written by someone who briefly passed through on assignment or has been geared toward someone who pays for their visit or advertises on their website. The information you receive at information centres target specifics. Excellent information but just not complete. No one mentions anything about the small and sometimes very interesting areas you pass through along the way during the bulk of your holiday time. How would you like to have professional New Zealand travelers help with "local information" along the way? Be told what's over the hill and down that side road or around the corner you would otherwise miss. You should get our "New Zealand Travel Guide CD" as a start. If you book a holiday itinerary with us you will be refunded full amount of the CD.

Guess what! We not only provide all the specific information you need to enjoy the holiday you dream of but we are professional New Zealand travelers "On the Road" permanently traveling providing just that information. Constantly moving and updating with new and exciting places, people and adventures we come across plus provide a running commentary on the road conditions, weather and other information to help you enjoy "all" of your holiday from start to finish. We live, work and play around New Zealand 24/7 by virtue of living aboard a seven metre Hino wide body self-contained bus.

In my original concept I had planned to list every golf course, every B&B, picnic spot, backpackers, public conveniences and the general information. I realised early on it would be too vast to do it individually. Be aware almost every town along the way has a golf course. They are everywhere. Also each small town provides public toilets and very clean ones I must say. The B&B's and backpackers are plentiful.  Same way with holiday parks. No shortage. I have included the Department of Conservation camps in the travel kit though and the public dump sites for caravans.

After four years on the road we will now begin to list and provide information on the many accommodations, parks, activities, events. The ones we recommend so you can get the best.

So let’s go....On the Road..
