North Island
Here you will find the largest and most populated city of New Zealand, Auckland, from where you can start to the north, to the south, and both to the west coast and to the east coast of the island.

Starting at the north of the island is highly recommended that you do an surfari, renting a car that allows you to move around both coasts and discover all the beauty that hides, following routes as Twin Coast Discovery Highway, by the north end of the island.

On the north-west coast you will find magnificent landscapes almost untouched like Piha and Muriwai, with black sands and splendid waves. If you are more than golden beaches, you should visit Mangawhai or Te Arai on the northeast coast. Raglan, is a place of tradition adored by the local surfer community.

In the east of the North Island, you will find a calm and beautiful area, with waves in every corner. Places like Coromandel, Bay of Plenty and Gisborne are a must to surf or just relax on its amazing beaches.

In the southern area of ​​the North Island, in New Plymouth you will find Taranaki, not only famous for its waves and easily accessible beaches, but also for hosting film shoots like "The Last Samurai." In this southern part of the island, is the capital, Wellington, another good strategic point to move around the island.

South Island
Here is the third city of the country, Christchurch, perhaps the nerve center located on the east coast from which you should move around the island. Travel from here to Kaikoura, where you can spot whales, and even surf along with dolphins and seals.

Let's not forget the west coast, where we find a great route to drive between Westport and Greymouth with spectacular views and high frequency waves.

In the south of the island we find Dunedin, without a doubt, one of the best regions of New Zealand for surfing, with lots of waves, but with lower temperatures, due to its greater proximity to Antarctica.
