Explorers Guide to New Zealand

Hi I'm Ashley 👋Welcome to my Explorers Guide to New Zealand!

I'm born and raised in New Zealand and have explored my beautiful homeland top to bottom. This guide contains nearly 700 of my favorite and most unique places worth exploring with an emphasis on the natural beauty of New Zealand.

You'll find amazing hikes, waterfalls, mountains, caves and beaches as well as photographic landmarks like lighthouses, gardens, and flower fields. I have also included a few of my absolute favorite tours, restaurants and accommodations.

This guide is the culmination of years worth exploring New Zealand and I am so proud of it. I know my guide will help you make the most of your precious time travelling in New Zealand, whether you're a local like me or you're visiting our shores for a once in a lifetime holiday.

Really helpful for identifying not-to-miss spots during our North Island roadtrip. She picked all winners!

I love the interactive map I found new places even around where I live. Ashley was always willing to help with anything as well.

Ashley has been brilliant and she is highly recommended!

I'm in NZ on a 3-month sabbatical and have worked with Ashley in advance of me coming here on several zooms (no mean feat when there is a 13 hour time difference!) and she saved me the money it cost me for the zooms, by the great travel advice she gave me.

As a solo female traveller, Ashley gave me confidence to come to the other side of the world by myself and she has continued to give me advice and tips. Thank you, Ashley! You're a star!

We have road tripped throughout NZ for the past month with our two kids (age 8 and 11) and have found SO many wonderful tips in Ashley’s app - maybe because she is also travelling with kids, every single experience she has recommended has been absolutely perfect for us 👌🏻 it has been truly beautiful to experience New Zealand and we are so grateful we stumbled upon littlekiwitravels and this app before we arrived so we were well prepared and able to find so many amazing spots 🥰

Honestly I bought her map, another NZ map on Rexby, and a Roady map and hers was THE BEST out of all of them. More options, more options that regular people would want to do, kid options (since she has a kid). It's great.
