Auckland sprawls over volcanic hills and around twin harbours, offering an exhilarating mix of natural wonders and urban adventures. Discover the diverse range of cafes and restaurants offering cuisine from around the globe, plus the buzzing nightlife of the central city.
BAY OF ISLANDS
The Bay of Islands is a paradise of pristine, sandy beaches encompassing 144 islands between Cape Brett and the Purerua Peninsula. Explore spectacular Cape Brett on a three-hour cruise in search of dolphins and other marine life. Journey to the famous ‘Hole in the Rock’ on Motukokako Island and learn about its symbolism within the Māori community.

Step into the enchanting village of Hobbiton Movie Set in the heart of the Mighty Waikato region. Explore the lush pastures of the Shire with a guided walking tour of Hobbiton, as featured in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit Trilogies. Also experience a delicious Shire's buffet lunch.
ROTORUA
Rotorua is known for bubbling mud pools, shooting geysers and natural hot springs, as well as showcasing New Zealand's fascinating Māori culture. The city offers a raft of attractions and experiences for everyone from adventure-seekers to those just looking to unwind. During your stay, enjoy Te Puia, where you will experience an unforgettable Māori Hāngi and Concert.
NAPIER
Experience Napier's beautifully-restored 1930s Art Deco buildings. In 1931 a massive earthquake rocked Hawke's Bay, destroying the commercial centre of Napier. Rebuilding began almost immediately, and new buildings reflect the architectural styles of the times - Stripped Classical, Spanish Mission and Art Deco. Napier is now often referred to as a 1930s film set.
WELLINGTON
Situated at the southern end of the North Island, Wellington was recently named "the coolest little capital in the world" by Lonely Planet. Wellington is set on the edge of a stunning harbour surrounded by rolling green hills. From arts and culture, Māori heritage and natural wonders, to wine and food, shopping and rural retreats, there is plenty to be explored.
