Uncover the heart of the North Island, where geothermal wonders, rich culture and iconic landscapes combine for a journey rich in discovery.
The journey begins in the charming town of Cambridge, perfectly positioned to explore the glowworm-lit caves of Waitomo and as you continue to Rotorua, stop to explore the cinematic magic of Hobbiton. Dive deeper into the region with a native forest canopy tour and a visit to the National Kiwi Hatchery, followed by a rejuvenating geothermal experience at Hell’s Gate. As evening falls, connect further with Māori culture at Te Pā Tū through storytelling and shared cuisine. Travel on to Taupō to witness the vibrant geothermal landscapes of Wai-o-tapu and feel the thrill of Huka Falls by jet boat, then slow the pace with a stunning guided lakeside hike. Conclude your journey on the rugged and wild west coast, where views of the Tasman Sea provide a memorable final chapter.
