New Zealand South Island: West Coast 2-Day, 1-Night Adventure! 🏞️🚗

#summervacay This is a suggested itinerary for a 2-day, 1-night trip along the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island, based on my own experience. You can adjust it according to your own schedule! Important Tip: Remember to download offline maps in advance, as there are areas with no network coverage. The duration of stay at each spot is flexible and depends on individual preference. Day One Christchurch > Hokitika Gorge: 3 hours 42 minutes 🚙 Hokitika Gorge: Known for its stunning turquoise waters and swing bridge. It's a picturesque spot for photos and a short walk. Hokitika Gorge > Hokitika Town Centre: 29 minutes 🚙 Hokitika Town Centre: This charming town is famous for its jade (pounamu) artistry. If you have enough time, you might consider staying here overnight. Must-Try: Hokitika is renowned for its whitebait pizza – a unique local delicacy! 🍕🐟 Evening Highlight: Don't miss the Glow Worm Dell, a free glowworm cave experience right near town. It's magical after dark! ✨ #newzealand #southisland #westcoast #hokitika #hokitikagorge #glowwormdell #roadtripnz #travelnz #travelitinerary #nzadventure #christchurch
