Gap Year & Student Travel
Aspiring Frodos can hike world famous trails like the volcanic Tongariro Crossing and coastal Abel Tasman, or take an epic road trip from the quiet white sand coves of the Coromandel Peninsula and geothermal wonders of Rotorua on the North Island, all the way down to the spectacular valleys of Milford Sound and magnificent Franz Josef glacier on the South Island.
Choose to explore the land of the long white cloud by hiring a car or motorhome, or if you don’t want to be behind the wheel, sit back and enjoy the never-ending views and experiences with a flexible hop on hop off travel pass.
