Summer in New Zealand runs from December to February, and hire cars are the usual way to travel on the larger islands, with traffic driving on the left. Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast, so a coastal drive to Howick can be rewarding in itself.
