Description

This is my first bush trip creation, and follows a road trip that I made around New Zealand in late 2019. With the exception of the flight into Milford, and the legs between Christchurch and Rotorua, this is the exact route that I drove. As I flew direct to Rotorua, I have added in some extra legs via Kaikoura, Picton, Wellington, Mount Taranaki and Taupo. There is a long over water stretch to Mount Taranaki, as it is somewhat out of the way. You could follow the coast around if you so wish, but the mountain itself is worth seeing. Do make sure that you have both 'Bing Data World Graphics' and 'Photogrammetry' turned on in your settings!

South Island

Starting in Queenstown, you will visit a winery, before travelling to Milford Sound, and flying the world famous 'Milford Road'. You will then visit Mout Cook en-route to Christchurch, and make a detour to the pretty Banks Peninsula and the town of Akaroa. You then fly to North Island as described above.

North Island

From Rotorua, we fly to the Coromandel Peninsula, landing at some small airstrips, before traveling to Auckland. From Auckland, we make a visit to Great Barrier Island, before returning to Auckland via Waiheke Island.

There are some fantastic sights on this trip, and I don't want to spoil the surprise by listing everywhere that you will visit. This is not intended to be a comprehensive itinerary of New Zealand, as I wanted to recreate what I did. Make sure that you top up with fuel when you get the chance with this one!


I highly recommend downloading the following mods which will add to the experience considerably in some cases:
