To summarise my recommended road trip around the South Island of New Zealand I’ve mapped the whole itinerary into Google Maps complete with directions and driving times. I’ve also integrated all of the content from each part of this blog series so, when you click on each leg of the road trip, my full description of what to do and what to look out for will appear (it’s easier to use if you click on the link to view a larger version of the map).

The South Island of New Zealand is a stunning place and there are so many amazing places that I just could not squeeze into what is an already ambitious itinerary. However, if you do have extra time in New Zealand, then this is what I’d recommend:
- Abel Tasman
- Doubtful Sound
- The Catlins
- Stewart Island
Have a great trip!!
