New Zealand is a dream destination for many travellers, but choosing between the North and South Islands can be a tough call! In this episode, Veena Worldโ€™s Neil Patil and Sunila Patil break down what makes each island unique and which one is the perfect fit for different types of travellers.

๐Ÿ๏ธ Whatโ€™s Inside?

โ˜€๏ธ Climate Check โ€“ With New Zealand lying in the Southern and Eastern Hemisphere, the weather can be quite different from Asia. How do the mild, volcanic landscapes of the North Island (Auckland, Rotorua, Wellington) compare to the cooler, mountainous regions of the South Island (Queenstown, Christchurch, Milford Sound)?

โœˆ๏ธ Best Gateway to New Zealand โ€“ Should you start your journey in Auckland or Christchurch? Sunila shares the ideal itineraries depending on whether you're flying in for city vibes, adventure, or scenic road trips.

๐ŸŽข Things to Do โ€“ North Island is all about Maori culture, geothermal wonders like Rotorua, and cityscapes of Wellington and Auckland. Meanwhile, South Island boasts breathtaking fjords, adventure-packed Queenstown, and the serene beauty of Lake Tekapo and Milford Sound. Which one suits your travel style?

๐Ÿ”€ Connected Yet Different โ€“ While the North and South Islands have distinct identities, they are tied together by a love for nature, adventure, and breathtaking landscapes. Whether you dream of bungee jumping in Queenstown or relaxing in the Bay of Islands, this episode helps you decide where to go first!

๐Ÿ’กPro Tip: If you love road trips, renting a car or campervan is the best way to explore both islands at your own pace. Don't forget to drive on the left side! ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ
