7 Day North Island ADVENTURE Tour

$1,299.00 NZD
Calendar

Starts Auckland or Wellington

to Book or Save for later

Come explore the North Island with us to experience things the Kiwi way and be privilege to both mind-blowing scenery and a massive helping of adventure!

Starting from Auckland, we make our way down to New Zealand's capital Wellington through some of the North's hottest destinations! Discover the natural beauty, misty rainforests and pristine golden beaches of the Coromandel peninsula, take part in some wicked adventure activities in geothermally-charged Rotorua, get acquainted with the famous glowworm deep in Waitomo Caves, and stay alongside the beautiful Lake Taupo - a mass of water the size of Singapore!

There are more than plenty of opportunities to get the adrenalin rushing whilst on this New Zealand tour - choose to go skydiving, white-water rafting, bungy jumping, canyoning, shark diving, caving, black-water rafting, river sledging, sailing, and heaps more!

We've also thrown in some wicked inclusions - carving your very own 'tiki' pendant in Coromandel, entrance to Orakei Korako Thermal Geyserland, and an evening's entertainment at a traditional 'marae' complete with haka performance and 'hangi' feast!

However, as always, nothing is compulsory other than stepping onto the bus on day 1.

If you want to see more of the North Island (we don't blame you), we do have suggestions. Check out our "Before / After your tour" section in the tour itinerary. If you want to see more of New Zealand, well then we have other tours...!

We realize quite a few companies profess to calling themselves "number #1". So don't just take our word for it. Read independent feedback online about Haka Tours.
