Holiday planning
( New Zealand - Visitor Information)
There are 4 of us cruising down the east coast of New Zealand in February next year and would like advice as to which places we can easily hire a car and visit on our own or which are best with a guide. We are visiting Auckland, Tauranga,Napier,Wellington,akaroa and Dunedin. We are fit and don't mind walking and would like to visit thermal springs that you can soak in Thank you Pauline Blakemore

You can visit all of those places easily without a guide if you hire a car. If you hire one from a nationwide company you can take it around NZ. You can take a car on the ferry from the North to South Island, or you could leave it in Wellington and hire another car in the South Island. It may pay to check prices with some rental car companies.
