How to plan
Do not treat Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific islands as one short-haul route. Compare internal flights, ferry schedules, driving distances, seasonal weather and luggage requirements.
Frequently asked questions
Is a car necessary?
It depends on the route. Cars are useful for rural Australia and New Zealand, while major cities and some islands can be explored with public transport or transfers.
How much time should I allow?
Choose one region for a short trip. Add nights rather than destinations when driving or connecting between islands.
