This group trip can be action packed with zip lining and white water rafting just 2 of the many options. But it’s also suitable if you enjoy a group trip to see beautiful NZ. The accommodation is comfortable and our guide was first class with unsurpassed local knowledge that gets you those special places.

The tour is good if you want a very relaxing trip and see the sites of north new zealand. If you want an active holiday with lots of things to do, kayaking, canyoning & white water rafting etc i would suggest going for a tour that focus' on that. This trip prioritizes rest and relaxation over getting stuck into the activities and adventure of new zealand.
