North Island
Ah, the North Island! It’s got it all. You’ll feel like you’re in the tropics if you get some beach time in the clear waters of the Bay of Islands in the summertime. You’ll find the chaos and culinary delights of city life in Auckland and Wellington especially. You’ll be enchanted by the rolling green hills of King Country and the farmland of Waikato.
Wine connoisseurs will be in seventh heaven in Hawkes Bay and Wairarapa regions. First time visitors will get all the history and culture you’re looking for in the Bay of Plenty. Adventurers will find their thrills in Rotorua.
Surfers will be caught up in the fantastic waves on the East Cape, Raglan, or the Tāranaki Coast. Island hoppers will have their share of destinations between Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf and Northland’s Bay of Islands.
Snowbunnies will be satisfied on the Central Plateau, and hikers can take their pick of the North Island forests. With rivers, forests, and beaches aplenty, travellers of every kind will find their fix on the North Island.
