New Zealand Self Drive Travel Guides.
Self-drive holidays are one of the most scenic, popular and enjoyable ways to experience the Real New Zealand, our scenery and our people.
Select your South Island travel start point from the map below or links to the left.
Safe Driving
Some of the guides include up to 7 hours of driving, we do not recommend combining guides to more than this for safe enjoyable self drive New Zealand holidays. Towns and cities within New Zealand may seem close to each other on a map. However that drive may be hundreds of kilometres around lakes and mountains on undulating and winding roads, crossing one lane bridges on the journey. |

Give yourself plenty of time to complete your journey in comfort, without long sprints between localities.Driving Distance and Times
The distances and times within the Travel Guides are based on travel at an average of 80 to 90kmph in good weather and light to medium traffic, allowing for a break of 10 minutes from driving in each full hour.
There are many factors beyond the authors and our control that can and will impact upon the true distance travelled and time taken to complete any journey.
