Trip overview

This is a journey into the quieter corners of the North Island. You’ll go from the black sands and boutique coffee culture of Raglan to the subterranean 'starry skies' of Waitomo’s caves. Feel the heat of the earth in Rotorua, where you’ll fly over a dormant volcanic crater, before heading east to the hidden coves of the Coromandel Peninsula. Here, the trip slows down to the pace of the ocean, with days spent kayaking through limestone arches and waking up just steps from the beach.

Trip itinerary

Welcome to Auckland

Welcome to Auckland, known in Māori as Tāmaki Makaurau. Auckland is New Zealand's vibrant "City of Sails," and the country's largest metropolitan area. Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea. Surrounded by native bush, lush rainforests, and pristine beaches, Auckland is a haven for both adventurers and urban explorers. Wander through world-class museums and galleries in the city centre or enjoy a peaceful retreat at the Auckland Gardens, where stunning landscapes showcase New Zealand's diverse flora. Stroll along the lively waterfront to savour fresh seafood and international cuisine at Viaduct restaurants. For an unforgettable perspective, ascend the iconic SkyTower, New Zealand's tallest structure, and take in panoramic views of the city and its picturesque islands.
