Great Kiwi Road Trips

There's just something about the open road, it's as if it has a life of its own. One stretch may be dark and brooding, while the next is sun-kissed, smooth and curvy.

Road trips are as much about the personality of the road as they are the people travelling them. From adventure strewn paths forged on gravel back-roads to aimless driving amongst the vines of world-class wineries, New Zealand is a country begging to be explored.
