Other than layers to handle the climate changes, you may want to bring sunblocks, swimsuits/flip flops if plan to try the hot pools. Pretty easy to self-drive in New Zealand. Enjoy!

Oh, one thing to add.. there can be a long way between the gas stations, especially in some South areas. So make sure to fill up in towns if running low.

Glad you liked it

Flight+hotel was booked from American Airline website searching travel package for quotes.

It may be hard to avoid wind based on many’s experience. So better be prepared. We drove 4-6 hours per day. The roads were full of memorable views, making driving a pleasant experience.

It is an Arabic music from the editing app.

@@yanstravel134 Can you please tell me the name???

@@yanstravel134 thanks. But which app?

We booked the car from a website called northbound.is. The car rental company was LAVA Car Rental. Good experience. They met and greet us at the airport. A shuttle took us to the office (a couple of minutes away). Easy process and the car was good. Return to the same place with shuttle sending us back to airport.

Thanks for your advice! I will add the keyword phrase☺️

It was end of June till beginning of July.
