Amazing Bus Ride Through New Zealand!

I am so glad I decided to travel by bus instead of plane in New Zealand. Riding the bus through the countryside on the North Island was nothing short of amazing! Yes, it takes a few hours, but the time flew by as I enjoyed the green hills scattered with sheep, and the “quirky” truck stops along the way.

I travelled Wellington-Rotorua-Auckland on InterCity. There are plenty of stops to get food and drinks, use the restrooms and get some nice photos. The bus from Rotorua to Auckland got pretty full after a while on the road, but the bus from Wellington to Rotorua was never more than 1/3 full. And if possible, book well in advance. I paid 1 NZD for Rotorua-Auckland…

  1. Yes, sometimes I prefer taking a road trip – I think you get to see much more of the countryside and what a place is really about! Thanks for linking up with #MondayEscapes
