North Island Travelling Times & Distances
South Island Travelling Times & Distances
New Zealand Touring and DistancesUse this chart to plan your journey. The larger number is the distance in kilometers;
the smaller number is the driving time in hours/minutes.
New Zealand is the last of all the land masses to be discovered and thereby the youngest country on this planet. It can be compared in size to Great Britain or Japan, but with only 4.2 million people it is also one of the least crowded countries on earth!New Zealand’s climate moves through 4 different seasons during the year, so each season offers all travellers something different. Yet the overall temperature throughout the year only varies from a low of around zero degrees in winter to highs of around 30 degrees Celsius in summer. Therefore whilst the summer months of November to March are the most popular time to visit, the other seasons are equally enjoyable times to visit.
From those requiring peace, relaxation and rejuvenation to those seeking thrills and adventures, New Zealand is the perfect destination for everyone!
