Getting Around New ZealandHow you choose to travel around New Zealand is a question of both preference and time. An excellent network of roads makes either driving or coach-travel the most popular options and are complemented by effi cient air, ferry and rail services.Self-driveThe main advantage of having your own vehicle is the freedom to travel as you please and at your own pace. This is especially true if you hire a motorhome, when quite literally the whole country becomes your potential lodging. In a land where every bend in the road seems to bring another amazing view to savour, such independence is truly appealing for couples, friends and families alike.InterIslander ferryOperating daily between Wellington and Picton, the Interislander Ferry crossing takes 3 hours with 3 to 5 sailings daily. There is no need to take your car on the ferry. You simply leave it at the ferry depot, check-in your baggage and pick up another vehicle on arrival. However, for motorhome hire, you will need to take your vehicle on the ferry. Pre-booking is essential during peak times.Domestic fl ightsFlying is a great way to travel between the main centres in New Zealand if you are pressed for time or should you wish to focus on specifi c regions. Air New Zealand is the largest domestic operator offering economy class fl ights to 26 destinations throughout the country. In addition, a number of domestic fl ight routes are offered by Qantas and both airlines also operate Trans Tasman services between New Zealand and Australia. © Rest New Zealand© Bularangi Motorbikes8 Why choose Discover the World - see page 3 For our offi ce opening hours please visit our website
