What you’ll do

I have created what I believe to be the best 7 day spring/summer road trip itinerary. Inside I have included camp sites, accommodation, activities, best places to eat, photo spots, hikes + more!

The lupin flowers are in full bloom between mid November and December. So keep that in mind when booking your trip.

Enjoy!

Starting your trip in Queenstown! I have spent a lot of time in this town & have included what I think will make your trip extra special. I absolutely love Queenstown, and i hope you do too!

Day 1 will encompass what this town is about.. and that is adventure!

We do advise to hire a car while you are in QTN, as there is some amazing locations out of the town centre.
