In this guide, I’ve put together what I believe is the ultimate 2-week New Zealand itinerary—packed with my favourite places to see and the best things to do across both the North and South Islands. From dramatic mountains and glowworm caves to wild coastlines and pristine lakes, this journey showcases the very best of Aotearoa.
Not only have I included my must-visit destinations, but I’ve also shared recommendations on where to stay, the best food spots, and activities worth adding to your trip. The itinerary is designed for two weeks, but you can easily shorten or extend it to suit your own travel style.
Get out there and explore—and if you do, let me know how your adventure goes. I’d love to hear about your highlights 🥰
