North Island Destination Hub
New Zealand’s North Island is home to the country’s biggest city, Auckland, and capital city, Wellington. In between the North Island consists of a hugely diverse landscape made up of beautiful beaches, snow-covered mountains, caves and native bushland for you to explore.
Travelling by road is the best way to see everything the North Island has to offer, allowing you to stop at hidden spots and viewpoints along the way. Make the most of all the adrenalin-pumping activities on offer at each stop, from skiing and skydiving to caving and kayaking.
Your Driver Guide will be there along the way to book in your accommodation and activities, help you plan what to do and to make sure you don’t miss out on any of the North Island’s best bits.
