Day 3: City Sights: In Front Of Sydney’S Famous Opera House

G’Day Mate! Wave at the Great Barrier Reef from above, then it’s touchdown in Sydney! Take the train (payable locally) to your hotel.
Your curiosity about the city is far too great for just a day by the pool. Let’s head to Circular Quay! The famous Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge are ready for your Insta photo. Pay a visit to the famous concert hall and order a wake-up drink at the Opera Bar. For the perfect view of the Opera House, make your way to Milsons Point. And by the way, Sydney’s second biggest highlight has also snuck onto your route: the Harbour Bridge! For your first once-in-a-lifetime moment in Sydney, cross the bridge on foot. Watch as the setting sun bathes the Opera House and the skyline in the most beautiful colors and transforms the city into a colorful sea of lights!
Day 4 Day 4: City Deep Dive: The Rock &Amp; Darling Harbour
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 4: City Deep Dive: The Rock &Amp; Darling Harbour

Did you already marvel at the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge yesterday? Then let’s move on to other must-sees! True to the motto "the journey is the reward", a trip through the harbor (optional, payable on site) is a must. Start at Circular Quay and choose the line that makes your heart beat faster! How about the most iconic route that takes you to North Beach in Manly? Back to the city - back to the roots. After your beach adventure, the harbor district of The Rocks will lure you back to the past: to Cadman’s Cottage, the oldest house, and the Australian Heritage Hotel, the oldest pub in the city! A stroll through Darling Harbour is of course a must at the end of a perfect day! Whether it’s a break in the Chinese Garden of Friendship or a cocktail with a view of the harbor - everything is possible in Darling Harbour!
Day 5 Day 5: Sydney Ferry-Tales: Off To New Shores!
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 5: Sydney Ferry-Tales: Off To New Shores!

Which means of transportation in Sydney promises the most beautiful views? Undoubtedly the many ferries that take you from Circular Quay to every conceivable corner of the city (optional, payable locally)! How about exploring North Sydney, for example? A ferry will take you directly to Luna Park. If riding a roller coaster with a view of the harbor and the beautiful skyline sounds like the perfect adventure program for you, this is the perfect place for you (payable locally)! From the water, you can experience the Harbour Bridge from a new perspective. You can also take the perfect souvenir photo from here - picture-perfect Sydney! The city’s many museums are less adrenaline-filled, but no less exciting. Art at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, history at the Australian Museum, technology at the Powerhouse Museum or seafaring at the Australian National Maritime Museum - no matter what you’re interested in, admission is free!
Day 6 Day 6: Bondi Beach: Sydney’S Famous Surfer’S Paradise
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 6: Bondi Beach: Sydney’S Famous Surfer’S Paradise

You haven’t made a trip to the beach yet? At Bondi Beach - probably the most famous beach in Australia - fine, golden sand, turquoise blue sea and high waves await you. Perfect for wild surfers and those who want to become one! Want to get on a surfboard yourself? Then go for it! There are surf schools on site that offer courses for beginners and rent out boards (optional, payable on site). No less legendary than Bondi Beach itself is the Bondi Icebergs: an ice-blue pool in front of the unique beach backdrop, framed by the ocean waves. In the evening, it’s time to say goodbye to the city that has captivated you from the very first second. Part two of your adventure casts its shadow ahead - get on the plane to New Zealand! You close your eyes for a moment and the sea of lights of Christchurch appears below you. Welcome to the land of the Kiwis! At the hotel, you fall into bed, exhausted but happy. Sweet dreams!
Day 7 Day 7: Vanlife Adventure: Shimmering Lakes &Amp; Twinkling Stars
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 7: Vanlife Adventure: Shimmering Lakes &Amp; Twinkling Stars

Grab your belongings and head off to your personal companion for the next few days: your fully equipped campervan! Now nothing stands in the way of your road trip adventure. Discover the breathtaking beauty of the South Island and simply live the day away in true vanlife style. How about a first stop at Lake Tekapo? Put the pedal to the metal, turn up the music and off you go! The Inland Scenic Route definitely lives up to its name and gives you a taste of what’s to come. The water of Lake Tekapo shines in an unreal turquoise that you’ve never seen before. The majestic mountain backdrop rises up in the background and in the middle of the lake lies a green island that looks like it’s been painted. In the evening, you spread out your blanket and watch the sky, because there is hardly any other place where the stars in the night sky twinkle as brightly as here - beautiful. Recommended campsite: Lake Tekapo Motels and Holiday Park
Day 8 Day 8: Mount Cook &Amp; Lake Pukaki: New Zealand’S Natural Beauty
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 8: Mount Cook &Amp; Lake Pukaki: New Zealand’S Natural Beauty

What could be better than enjoying a home-cooked breakfast by the most beautiful lake you’ve ever seen? At least so far! Mount Cook National Park is not far away. Follow the Hooker Valley Track up to the highest mountain in the country. After just a few meters, the trail becomes a real scenic highlight. Green-covered mountains with snow-covered peaks form the perfect contrast to the bright blue sky. Over suspension bridges and raging rivers, you make your way across the gravel. This is replaced by a wooden footbridge that leads through the steppe-like landscape. Suddenly you are standing right in front of the snow-covered Mount Cook! At the end of the trail, you reach a glacial lake with ice floes floating on its milky waters. Have you marveled enough? Then head back along the same trail to Lake Pukaki - the perfect spot for your next unforgettable night in your home on four wheels! Recommended campsite: Glentanner Holiday Park
Day 9 Day 9: Queenstown: Welcome To The Adventure Capital!
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 9: Queenstown: Welcome To The Adventure Capital!

It’s hard to believe that your morning starts against this gorgeous mountain backdrop - it feels like you’re in a movie! In fact, Lake Pukaki was used as the film set for the lakeside town of Esgaroth in "The Hobbit". After a short walk around the lake, it’s on to Queenstown. The small town in the south is known as the adventure capital par excellence - electrified by this view, you step on the gas! How Queenstown got this honorary title is unclear. What is certain, however, is that you want to do something crazy! But first a little warm-up: explore the town on Lake Wakatipu on a walk. You’ll find plenty of cafés and restaurants, home breweries and bars in the city center. Be sure to try a Fergburger - and yes, it’s worth the wait! It’s only available in Queenstown and is considered the best burger joint in the country. Our tip: take your order to the beautiful promenade and enjoy the sunset with the best soul food. Recommended campsite: Queenstown TOP 10 Holiday Park
Day 10 Day 10: Heart Pounding: New Zealand’S Adrenaline Hotspot
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 10: Heart Pounding: New Zealand’S Adrenaline Hotspot

How crazy can it be today? There are plenty of adventures lurking in Adventure City! Our tip: A detour to Gibbston Valley to the Kawarau Bungee Center - the origin of bungee jumping! From the Kawarau Bridge, you can jump 134 meters into the depths (optional, payable on site). Alternatively, 130-metre-long ziplines over green rocks and the turquoise-blue river promise breathtaking views. If you’re looking to cool off, you can take on the cool waters of the river from a boat (optional, payable on site). Want more speed? Then hop on the Skyline Gondola to Queenstown Bike Park, where you can whizz back down to the valley on over 30 world-class mountain bike trails. And after you’ve had enough, make yourself comfortable with a view of the lake. Recommended campsite: Queenstown TOP 10 Holiday Park
Day 11 Day 11: Roys Peak: On Top Of The World!
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 11: Roys Peak: On Top Of The World!

Head to the next highlight in the camper: take the wheel and enjoy the road trip feeling! Ready to climb Roys Peak? With your hiking boots firmly laced up and plenty of food and water in your luggage, you’re ready to go! 1300 meters of altitude lie ahead of you and even if the first beads of sweat appear on your forehead after a short time, the incredible views of Lake Wanaka and the surrounding mountain ranges will reward you for every step. After about two hours, the postcard motif par excellence lies before you. A green-covered mountain with a jagged path leading up to it. And behind it: endless mountain ranges that touch the sky and are reflected in the lake below. Indescribably beautiful! From now on, it’s not far to the summit either - once you reach the top, you may even have made it above the clouds! Take a deep breath, marvel and enjoy - this will give you new energy for the way back. Need to cool off after your hike? Jump into the crystal-clear waters of Lake Wanaka and enjoy a dip against the spectacular mountain backdrop. Recommended campsite: Wanaka TOP 10 Holiday Park
Day 12 Day 12: Insider Tip: Lonely Trees &Amp; Pristine National Parks
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 12: Insider Tip: Lonely Trees &Amp; Pristine National Parks

What could be nicer than being woken up by the first rays of sunshine falling into the van? Your breakfast tastes twice as good outside in the sunshine with a view of the lake and a dip in the cool water awakens your spirits. Have you spotted the Wanaka Tree yet? The tree jutting out of the middle of the lake is one of the region’s most famous photo motifs and should not be missing from your souvenir album! Ready for the wonders of the South Island? Let’s head to Mount Aspiring National Park, with its dramatic landscapes, imposing mountain peaks, icy glaciers and crystal-clear mountain lakes! Perhaps the most pristine national park is a true paradise for hikers and mountaineers. Follow the Blue Pool Track, which leads you through shady forests and over suspension bridges to the ice-blue natural wonders. Glacier water collects in the pools, which glow intensely in contrast to the green mountains. Recommended campsite: Haast River Motels & Holiday Park
Day 13 Day 13: Franz Josef Glacier: On Imperial Ice Tracks
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 13: Franz Josef Glacier: On Imperial Ice Tracks

It’s going to be icy today! One minute you’re brewing your coffee, the next you’re back on the roads of New Zealand in your camper. Crank up the music as you cruise along the north coast towards Franz Josef Glacier! Does the name sound familiar to you? That could be because the ten-kilometre-long glacier is named after the famous Austrian emperor. And as befits an imperial glacier, it also has a few special features! For example, it flows ten times as fast as a normal glacier and is therefore constantly changing. It also reaches almost as far as the rainforest on the coast. Want to take a look at this unique natural wonder? Then lace up your hiking boots and set off on the Franz Josef Glacier Walk or, on the other side, the Robert’s Point Track. At the end of both hiking trails, a viewing platform with a view of the enormous ice masses awaits you! Recommended campsite: Franz Josef TOP 10 Holiday Park
Day 14 Day 14: Tai-Poutini National Park: Adventure In Glacier Country
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 14: Tai-Poutini National Park: Adventure In Glacier Country

Be sure to take a closer look at the Westland Tai Poutini National Park! The "glacier country" has a lot more to offer besides huge ice masses: Green grassy plains, lakes, rivers, lagoons and mountains up to 3000 meters high that rise above the low-lying rainforests. Yes, you read that right! Rainforests and huge glacier tongues are very close together here. Even today, your hiking boots are your best friends when you follow the Lake Matheson Loop Trail. Especially on a clear day, Mount Cook and Mount Tasman are reflected on the water as if painted. Fancy some water action? Then hire a kayak (optional, payable locally) and paddle across Lake Mapourika (optional, bookable locally). Surrounded by the breathtaking mountain and glacier scenery, you glide across the crystal-clear water - and with a bit of luck, you might spot a kiwi, the mascot of the New Zealanders. Recommended campsite: Franz Josef TOP 10 Holiday Park
Day 15 Day 15: Stacks Of Happiness: Pancake Rocks On The West Coast
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 15: Stacks Of Happiness: Pancake Rocks On The West Coast

Your appetite for discovery tours is far from satisfied? Your next stop is just right: off to the Pancake Rocks! 30 million years old and unfortunately not edible, they are still a real sensation. Again and again, you will be treated to fantastic views of the Tasman Sea - one of the most beautiful stages of your road trip! Make sure you stop off at the Strongman Mine Memorial and enjoy the view of the deep blue ocean glistening in the sun. Continue to the Pancake Rocks Walk. The path takes you directly to the blowholes, which are particularly spectacular when the surf hits the rocks with full force. And then you finally reach them, the bizarre rock formations that supposedly look like stacked pancakes. Whether you agree with this comparison or not, you cannot escape the magic that surrounds this natural wonder. No wonder, as the rocks tell an ancient story of wind, weather, water and erosion. Recommended campsite: Punakaiki Beach Camp
Day 16 Day 16: Back To The Beginning: Back In Christchurch
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 16: Back To The Beginning: Back In Christchurch

You wake up one last time in your campervan, which feels more like home than you could ever have imagined. You open the door and feel the salty sea breeze blowing through your hair. One last walk along the beautiful beach and you’re back behind the wheel - you’re heading back to Christchurch. The first skyscrapers appear on the horizon and your heart sinks. In Christchurch, it’s time to say goodbye to your little home on four wheels. Wherever your vanlife adventure has taken you, it has certainly been unforgettable! After you have returned the camper, you make your way to the hotel. Put your feet up and relax or head out into the city again - you’re spoiled for choice! After an afternoon of city strolls and souvenir shopping, make yourself comfortable in one of the local bars or restaurants. Toast to your wonderful time in New Zealand: Cheers mate!
Day 17 Day 17: Singapore: Welcome To Asia’S City Of Superlatives!
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 17: Singapore: Welcome To Asia’S City Of Superlatives!

From the airplane window, you can see New Zealand getting smaller and smaller below you. A few hours later, your feet are on Singaporean soil! Ready for a contrasting program par excellence? Take a short break at your accommodation, then set off on your first discovery tour of the futuristic metropolis. The easiest way to do this is by metro (payable locally). In Singapore, the journey itself is a highlight, as the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT for short) is one of the most modern means of transportation in the world. First must-see: the famous Marina Bay Sands! The hotel with its 3 towers and spectacular roof terrace is the city’s landmark. And if you’re already here, you shouldn’t miss the spectacular light and water show! Your way there will almost inevitably lead you to another highlight: the Helix Bridge. The 280-metre-long bridge, which connects the Marina Centre with Marina South, resembles a DNA spiral and is particularly worth seeing after dark.
Day 18 Day 18: Glittering Metropolis: Between Colonial Magic &Amp; Supertrees!
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 18: Glittering Metropolis: Between Colonial Magic &Amp; Supertrees!

A walk across the Cavenagh Bridge takes you into a completely different world! Just surrounded by futuristic skyscrapers, you are suddenly standing between historic buildings from the colonial era. This is where the leap into superlatives once began. Let yourself drift through the streets and take a look at the City Hall, the Old Supreme Court and the Old Parliament House. Chinatown is just a stone’s throw away. Your stomach is growling? The Chinatown Complex Food Center has everything your heart desires. A quick detour to India? The Little India district will quickly make you forget that you are in Singapore and not in India. Countless smells and aromas mingle in the colorful streets, where Indian stores and restaurants line the streets. Need a break from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis? Then the Gardens by the Bay city park is just the place for you (optional, payable locally). Here you’ll find yourself among the famous Supertrees towering into the sky - and thus in the perfect selfie backdrop!
Day 19 Day 19: Time To Say Goodbye: So Much To Experience, So Much To Tell!
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 19: Time To Say Goodbye: So Much To Experience, So Much To Tell!

"What - it’s going back already?" Unbelievable, but true - the last day of your trip has arrived and you still can’t believe how many small and big adventures you’ve had over the past few days. Fortunately, there are countless photos saved on your camera that will never let you forget this trip! And you have even more pictures in your head! Use the remaining hours in Singapore for one last walk through the city of superlatives before you make your way to the airport by metro, bus or cab (payable locally). On the plane, you can see the glittering metropolis below you getting smaller and smaller - you’ll definitely be back one day!
Day 20 Day 20: Home, Sweet Home: Welcome Back!
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 20: Home, Sweet Home: Welcome Back!

Every journey comes to an end. You land back home with unforgettable memories in your luggage, each of which brings a smile to your face. You make your way home and can’t wait to tell your loved ones about all the adventures you’ve had. Where should you start?
