New Zealand is famous for its incredible wealth of diverse and fascinating scenery, with green valleys, deep-blue lakes, fjords, mountains, volcanoes and geysers. The South Island is characterised by rainforests, coastal plains and mountain peaks of up to 3,700 metres. The North Island is more densely populated. Here, Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city, and the capital Wellington present a stark contrast to the Central Plateau with its impressive volcanoes and hot springs. Both islands undoubtedly offer a wide variety of things to see and do. But one of the most wonderful aspects of New Zealand are the spectacular coastal and mountain routes, making this the ideal location for an unforgettable Porsche driving experience.
