Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Swap Auckland’s big city vibes for the natural beauty of the Coromandel Peninsula, including a visit to Hot Water Beach, where all you need is a spade to create your own natural hot tub.
Chill out or hang ten in Raglan, a laidback town and surfing hotspot. Hop aboard a boat cruise around Raglan to watch the sunset and tuck into a classic Kiwi fish and chips dinner.
Discover the diversity of Rotorua, from unbelievable geothermal activity to rich Maori culture. Visit a Maori village for a hangi dinner and traditional haka performance.
Admire the out of this world landscapes of Tongariro National Park, from emerald green lakes to soaring volcanic peaks. If you’re up for the challenge, tackle the famous Tongariro Crossing.

You can enjoy this trip if you like to be active whether 70 or 19yrs as me and my grandson did May 2024. Tour guide superb and food.activities and accommodation all excellent.

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.
