Year-round
Cruising along the Tengako Causeway on Fongafale, Tuvalu's main island, is an absolute must-do! This asphalt ribbon, also called the Funafuti Causeway, stretches for 10.9 km, slicing between the wild Pacific Ocean and the tranquil Te Namo Lagoon.
Built originally by the Americans during WWII, it's more than just a road; it's a vital artery connecting the northern and southern parts of the island, where the island's too narrow for a normal road.
Be warned: high tide means the causeway floods regularly, and waves often crash right over it, so be prepared to get a little wet! Keep your eyes peeled for war relics scattered around the lagoon and other parts of the island – a constant reminder of the island's past. Trust me, the views alone make this drive totally worth it!

moderateThe road to Wards Pass is closed due to snowfalls for long periods
🇳🇿 New Zealand
Okay, adventure-seekers, let's talk about Wards Pass! Nestled in the northern part of New Zealand's South Island, this mountain pass sits pretty high at 1,145 meters (3,757 feet). You'll find it snuggled between the upper Acheron and Awatere River valleys. Now, fair warning: the road to the top—Acheron Road, taking you from Blenheim to Hanmer Springs—is completely unpaved. Think gravel, and sometimes loose gravel, especially on the edges, so keep that in mind! Before you set off, double-check with your rental company that you're good to drive here. Most 2WD and AWD cars with decent clearance should be fine. But leave the caravans, buses, and anything over 7 meters long at home. Towing a trailer? You'll need a permit, so get that sorted first. High up in the Rachel Range, part of the Inland Kaikoura Ranges, this road is open during the summer season, usually from 7 am to 7 pm, from October 1st through Easter Monday or the second Sunday in April (whichever is later). Get ready for some amazing scenery!
moderateCaves Road Tourist Drive
🇦🇺 Australia
Okay, picture this: Caves Road Tourist Drive in Western Australia's southwest. This isn't just a drive, it's an experience! Starting near the coastal town of Augusta and winding up to Dunsborough, you're in for a 94km (58-mile) treat. Think smooth pavement carving its way through the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park. This is Tourist Drive 250, and it lives up to its name! Be warned: the road can get a little cozy with other drivers, so keep your eyes peeled. Expect twists, turns, and a whole lot of narrow sections, making it an engaging ride. Word to the wise: If it's been raining, Murray Scrub Road can get boggy. But mostly, get ready for some stunning scenery and an all-around fantastic road trip!
moderateWhere is Obelisk/Kopuwai?
🇳🇿 New Zealand
Okay, picture this: you're in Central Otago, South Island, New Zealand, surrounded by unreal landscapes. You're heading to the Obelisk, or Kopuwai, a seriously cool rock formation perched way up high. Getting there is half the adventure. The road's a gravel track, an old gold mining route that climbs and climbs from a paved road for about 15km. You'll gain about 800 meters in elevation, so it's a steady uphill trek. The views from the top are killer, panoramic vistas of Central Otago. Just don't park near the mast, apparently it messes with your car's electronics! The rock formations at the summit are totally worth the drive. Now, here's the catch: this road is only open in summer, and even then, only when it's dry. Winter brings snow and dicey conditions. This area can have extreme weather any time of year, so check the forecast before you go. Temps change fast up there, so pack warm, windproof gear, and maybe a compass, because fog can roll in outta nowhere. Oh, and one more thing: you're way out there. Zero cell service, so if you get stuck, you're on your own. Seriously, don't drive this road alone. It's a real remote area. But hey, if you're prepared, it's an unforgettable adventure!
extremeThe defiant Otaki Gorge Road in New Zealand is closed after a big slip
🇳🇿 New Zealand
Get ready for a seriously scenic – but challenging – adventure on the Otaki Gorge Road, nestled in the Kapiti Coast District of New Zealand's North Island. This isn't just a Sunday drive; it's an experience! Starting from State Highway 1, this 17.9km (11.12 miles) dead-end road hugs the Otaki River, winding its way from the town of Hautere towards the majestic Tararua Ranges. The first 13km are smooth sailing on paved road. But hold on tight, because the last 5km are where things get interesting! The road turns into a narrow, winding gravel track, with heart-stopping drops down to the steely river on one side and towering cliffs, often shrouded in misty veils, on the other. Pro tip: remember that stopping on gravel takes way longer than on sealed roads! This road isn't for the faint of heart, especially after rain. Slips are common, so check conditions beforehand and take it super slow. Daylight is your friend here – night driving is a definite no-no. And some sections are seriously steep, so keep that speed under 20 km/h. As of April 2024, the road is closed to both vehicles and pedestrians due to a slip at Blue Bluff. Camping is available at Boielle's Campsite but you can only get there on foot. Because the road is closed, it's not being maintained and will stay closed until further notice. If you need to get to Ōtaki Forks, there's a 5km emergency track you can walk which starts 200m past the locked gate on Ōtaki Gorge Road. One of the absolute highlights is the Waihoanga Road Bridge, a swing bridge offering breathtaking views of the Otaki River and the surrounding gorge. Trust me, you'll want to have your camera ready; the photo ops are incredible! Fun fact: Otaki Gorge was even used to represent the Shire woods in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies.
