I definitely can’t say, which I prefer: The North or the South Island of New Zealand.

sl4lifestyle as New Zealands North Island Travel Blog gives you tips for visiting both places. But first it starts with the north and the best places there.

New Zealand North Island Travel Route

Auckland – Bay of Islands – Cape Reinga – Coromandel Peninsula – Rotorua – Lake Taupo – Wellington – Napier – Waitomo Caves.

We needed for this Travel Route about 4 weeks.

New Zealand North Island vacation rentals

To go on a trip you best need a vehicle, either a camper or a car. We traveled with a Hyundai from Go Rentals. Since we could not manage the rental car back home, we booked after arrival in Auckland at its city office. They are also located at Auckland Airport, Auckland Penrose and in Wellington. We decided to book at a national enterprise because often they have better rates. Just check it out and compare.
