Why go

Reasons to start packing

South Island road trip

Christchurch → Queenstown → Milford Sound — drive through Middle-earth, stop for bungy jumps.

Hobbiton

Yes, it's still there. The Shire from Lord of the Rings, kept exactly as filmed.

Glow worm caves

Waitomo's underground caves shimmer with 100,000 glowing larvae — unforgettable.

Specific to this destination.

Should I add Australia + New Zealand on one trip?
