new zealand vacation/honeymoon?
03:03:09 pm on December 21, 2009 | by bianca |
I’m looking to spend about 10-12 days in new zealand. I’d like to see Milford sound, in addition to possibly seeing wine country, cities (auckland, etc).
Does anybody have any recommendations on how i should go about looking (should i arrive in the SW and drive up?) or any package travel websites that I should look into? thanks!

type in your key words.
Milford Sounds. milford sounds tours. tramping tracks. accomodation. cruises, Christchurch, Queenstown, Doubtful Sound, etc
The main sub headings page will also give you up to 8 other combinations you can look up, which gives you more sites than I can put on here!
Also for the wine country:
only two of many

I’d suggest starting down South and working your way up north and leaving from Auckland.
The South Island is the most spectacular of the two. Milford Sounds is down south as well.
To really see NZ you need at least 4 weeks for each island! LOL
The self drive motor-home option is popular here. We do drive on the left hand side of the road. NZ roads can be quite intense driving with all the twists and curves. The curve speed sign’s reccommended speeds are pretty accurate for the corners sign posted.
Sorry I cant be more help, but I hope this gets you started.
Good luck and all the best for your wedding and honeymoon.
