"Exploring New Zealand with Kids: Our School Holiday Road Trip Adventure

 We packed our bags, rented a campervan, and hit the road across New Zealand’s North Island. This blog is a detailed look at how we made the most of our school holiday break — from glowworm caves to geothermal parks.

Subtopics & Answers:

  • Planning the route and stops We started in Auckland and made our way to Rotorua, Taupo, and Hobbiton.

  • Nature-based learning on the go Our kids learned about volcanoes, Maori culture, and native wildlife firsthand.

  • Best campsites and family accommodations Holiday parks with playgrounds and communal kitchens made life easy.

  • Keeping kids entertained during long drives Audiobooks, travel games, and scenic stops kept boredom at bay.

  • Food and grocery tips for road trips We stocked up at local supermarkets and cooked simple meals in our camper.

  • Why New Zealand is ideal for educational travel Every stop offered something new to learn — without feeling like school.
