I think if we did that, our first three nights would be this tour and our fourth night would be in Auckland. Seem doable? Seem worth it? Or would you stay in Auckland with just a day trip to the worm caves? |
My weather experience from many years ago in June is probably not much use, but winter in NZ was pretty cool, and downright cold on the South Island. Sydney wasn't so bad.
I didn't see the worm caves then, but thought the other stops were definitely worth making it happen. That said, why not just hop a flight from Brisbane or Sydney straight to Christchurch and spend 3 days on the South Island?
