Welcome to Aotearoa NZ! First things first, grab your van, stock up on groceries, and get ready to hit the road.

Stretch your legs with a walk up Mount Eden for some solid city views, then head west for a quick dip at Karekare Falls. Wrap up the day watching the sunset at Piha Beach, one of Auckland’s most famous surf spots.
