INDEPENDENT NORTHERN EXPLORER
11 Days • 6 Stops • 1 People • From NZ$10,999 p.p.
Journey independently through New Zealand’s North Island, from coastal vistas and forests to Māori heritage and iconic landmarks.
Experience the North Island and partake in small-group experiences that offer the opportunity to explore iconic landscapes, culture, and coastlines. Begin in Auckland with a guided city walk before discovering coastal rainforest trails on the city’s edge. Travel to Rotorua to explore Waitomo Glowworm Caves and step into the Shire at Hobbiton. Immerse yourself in Māori culture at Wai Ariki and Te Pa Tu, visit the highlights Rotorua has to offer, then journey via geothermal wonders at Wai-o-tapu and a stop in lakeside Taupō on the way back to Auckland. Continue north to the Bay of Islands for pristine beaches, coastal walks, and maritime experiences. Visit Cape Reinga, where sea and ocean collide, before returning to Auckland to reflect on your journey through Te Ika-a-Māui’s natural and cultural treasures.
