It’s beyond beautiful. It’s like Hawaii and west cost had a baby, that baby would be New Zealand. I went for two weeks but it was hardly enough for the northern island.

Few volcanic parks just amazing
Driving North by the coast
The whole country is beautiful
If you can go to the South Island and see the Milford sound then you are lucky

Went last May 2023 for 2 weeks. Milford Sound, Rotorua ( Te Puia), Quake Museum and Market at Christchurch. All botanical gardens have free admission. Went to Hobbiton and Glow worms cave as well. Have an amazing experience. I felt safe everywhere.
