Days 10-12 Tongariro NP to Hawke’s Bay      
Head east to the beautiful vineyards of Hawke’s Bay. Sip delicious wine, sample delicious local food and explore the art deco town of Napier. If you choose a maui motorhome, there is the option to pre book a stay on the exclusive Linden Estate Vineyard for one of the nights.      

Day 13 Hawke’s Bay to Wellington      
Continue to Wellington, New Zealand’s capital. Take the Wellington Cable Car up the mountain for sweeping views or perhaps visit the stunning Botanical Gardens.      

Day 14 Wellington to Nelson      
Board the ferry to the South Island and drive to the nearby Nelson Tasman region on the north coast.

Days 15-16 Abel Tasman NP        
Spend several days visiting the breathtakingly beautiful Abel Tasman National Park. Famed for golden beaches, beautiful coves and stunning coastal walks, this is Mother Nature at her best.      

Day 17 Nelson to Marlborough    
Retrace your steps slightly and drive to the spectacular world renowned wine region of Marlborough. If you choose a maui motorhome, choose to prebook an overnight stay in the grounds of the scenic Gibson Bridge Vineyard - speak to your travel consultant for more details.        

Day 18 Marlborough to Kaikoura

Days 21-22 Greymouth to Franz Josef      
Drive down the remote and rugged west coast, to the small village of Franz Josef. The best way to see Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers is from the air so we highly recommend a helicopter trip for unforgettable views of these awe-inspiring glaciers - speak to your travel consultant for more details.

Drive through the stunning Mount Aspiring National Park to lively Queenstown. With a wonderful lakeside setting alongside The Remarkables mountain range, Queenstown’s location is hard to beat. Drop your motorhome in Queenstown and check in to a hotel.
