A wicked mix of the well known hotspots and the best kept secrets of both South and North Islands...

Our 9 day adventure tour is a great option if you have some time between Christchurch and Auckland and will maximise your time travelling between them. It is suitable for both those travellers who want a taste of New Zealand, AND those who have already spent some time here. We show you our capital city Wellington alongside some truly untouched parts of the country.

We are particularly proud of our accommodation choices for this tour. In Punakaiki we stay at a retreat surrounded by pure West Coast rainforest just 5 minutes from the beach. Along the outskirts of Abel Tasman National Park we spend the night on a 100 acre farm nestled in the Marahau Valley. On day 7, River Valley is a unique adventure lodge situated far from urban life – a beautiful setting perfect for both relaxing and finding adventure!

The adventure certainly never stops either! From kayaking in Abel Tasman National Park, to white water rafting in River Valley, to learning to surf in Raglan - there are some wicked activities to choose from. Nevertheless if you just feel like sitting back and enjoying the journey, you won't be disappointed. These are some truly beautiful parts of New Zealand.

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.

For generalised FAQs, please see our "About Us" section. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us and we'll reply ASAP.
