Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Laugh, slip and slide your way down Mt Ngongotaha inside a giant inflatable zorb, designed for maximum fun.
Learn about the ways of life in the Whakarewarewa Maori Village, where geothermal activity has become part of everyday life and local culture is practised and protected.
Tuck into the best of Kiwi kai (food), from farm-to-table produce and classic fish and chips on the beach. Maybe try some regionally brewed beers, local wines or the fresh seafood NZ is known for.
Explore the seaside town of Mount Maunganui with a high-up hike to the summit or during a low-key day catching waves at the beach.
Soak up the country's natural wonders in the hot springs or get your heart rate up with whitewater rafting, zip-lining and more during your free time.
Is this trip right for you?
Accommodation on this trip is in multi-share dormitories with shared facilities. Dorms consist of 4-8 beds. Our first preference is always single gender rooming allocation. If this isn’t possible, accommodation will be in mixed gender dorms. People travelling together may be separated due to rooming configurations. You may also be required to share with non-Tuuur travellers.

Itinerary
An action-packed taste of North Island life
Jump into a world of geothermal wonders, white water rapids and oceanside summits on this 8-day adventure across New Zealand’s North Island. Travel northbound from Wellington for farmlands in Taihape and geysers in Rotorua. Learn about Maori culture from a local guide in the Whakarewarewa Maori Village, laugh your way down the Rotorua hillside in a Zorb, hike up Mount Maunganui, then sit back for fish and chips on the beach. Of all New Zealand’s assets, its people are top of the list. Embrace a warm welcome from the locals as you explore their backyard with your new group of friends. Welcome to the North Island.
