New Zealand's South Island

Hi, I'm hayley 👋🏼 I am a full time travel content creator who has spent the last 8 years traveling the world to more than 50 countries ✈️ I am constantly asked the same question about my travels. "What is your favourite place you've ever travelled" My answer is always the same.. easy. New Zealand. New Zealand is a feeling not a place for me. This country is nothing short of breathtaking and diverse. It offers a stunning array of natural beauty, from towering snow capped mountains, to lush forests, endless cascading waterfalls, serene lakes, and rolling green hills. Imagine Norway, Switzerland, Scotland & Canada combined! It's one of the most untouched and beautiful places to road trip in the world. I have visited the South Island 6 times, exploring the very best parts. My guide will include some of my favourite hikes, camping spots, photo locations, lupin fields, viewpoints, swimming spots, off the path locations, airbnbs, cafes etc. 🌸🚐🏔️❄️🌿

I absolutely loved this guide for planning our trip to Queenstown! Hayley’s guide was so helpful in ensuring we fit all the best places into our quick trip. Can’t recommend enough👏

My partner and I had a really busy end to the year, so I purchased this to help plan our trip with very little time and I’m so glad I did! Without this itinerary I think we would have ended up in some tourist traps (been there before 🙄).

Hayley has AMAZING taste and has selected the best things to do in each place. We just finished our 5 day road trip of the South Island and we basically spent the whole time saying how good the recommendations were on here. Every time we tried something not on the itinerary we didn’t rate it as much 😂

All in all, 10/10 - a good mix of adventure, places to eat and relaxation.

The guide has been incredibly helpful! I’m traveling to New Zealand this week, and it has made planning the trip such a breeze. Our itinerary is shaping up really well, thanks to all the detailed recommendations. I’ve been following Hayley for ages, and the effort and attention to detail she’s put into this guide are truly amazing. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone planning their trip!

Really been loving this guide. My husband and I are planning our honeymoon trip from the States to New Zealand and having access to Hayley's guide has made planning a breeze. The map feature is the best, you can easily filter to what you are looking for whether its food, lodging or a fun activity its been so easy to find what we are looking for and get our itinerary booked.
