Part 4/8:
Starting our expedition from Auckland, we initially paved our way southward through key spots. The Bay of Islands, famed for its beautiful beaches, captivates those who venture north. We chose to immerse ourselves in the Taranaki region, while many may prefer to explore Tongariro Crossing or the vineyards of Hawke’s Bay.
The journey continued with a ferry ride to the South Island, connecting via Wellington. This segment of our journey was particularly noteworthy for the stunning views through the Queen Charlotte Sound.
