About this trip
Eight days across New Zealand's North Island, covering the coastline, geothermal country, and cities that give you a proper sense of the place. You move by coach between the Bay of Islands, Auckland, Rotorua, and Wellington, with history, nature, and Māori culture woven through the route.
Expect golden beaches and island views up north, volcanic scenery and harbours in Auckland, then glowworm caves and geothermal fields further south. The trip ends in Wellington, with its waterfront and views from Mt Victoria.
