Hi everyone who knows New Zealand well, I’ve got two weeks to plan in New Zealand this coming December. Arriving and departing from Auckland. I’m struggling a bit because I can’t decide between the North Island and the South Island. I’ll be renting a car and I’d love to find a nice road trip with beautiful landscapes, hikes, and places that aren’t too touristy. If I choose the South Island, I was thinking of taking a flight from Auckland to Christchurch and renting a car from CHC. I know I’m asking a lot, but to those of you who know New Zealand well, I’d really appreciate your help in making this long-time dream come true. Thanks in advance. JP

Hey everyone, Just sharing my experience after my road trip in a van around New Zealand: if you're looking to save on activities, I really recommend checking out Bookme. At first, I was a bit skeptical (discounts up to 50%—sounds almost too good to be true 🤪), but after 3 bookings, no issues at all. Everything went super smoothly. My experience:

Lots of activities available at reduced prices I got into the habit of checking the site before each booking Best deal: 40% off a cruise to Milford Sound booked 2 days in advance

My tips:

Always check Bookme before booking elsewhere The best prices are often 2 to 4 days before Not all popular activities are necessarily on there

In my opinion, it’s a real great tip for saving money without any hassle during a trip to NZ! I actually detailed my experience and all my tips in this article if you're interested: https://lemondeavecandrea.com/mon-avis-sur-bookme-nouvelle-zelande/ If any of you have tried it too, I’d love to hear your feedback 🙂 Happy travels!
