Overview of your experience

Be treated to a diverse wilderness experience as you travel in the North Island. Discover the world underground at Waitomo, explore the geothermal delights of Rotorua and hike the shores of the gorgeous lakes in this region. 

Be awed whilst exploring the dual listed World Heritage Area of the Tongariro National Park. Experience one of New Zealand's best day hikes, the Tongariro Alpine Crossing.

This stunning natural playground is bursting with diverse landscapes for you to discover. With arid badlands, crater and alpine lakes, sparkling rivers, breath-taking lunar landscapes, lush rainforest and alpine meadows to be explored, a summer hiking vacation is an utterly unique experience no to be missed. 

Challenge yourself with the hiking as you connect with like-minded women and share a laugh or two along the way. 

This is a sample itinerary of what we can offer for custom groups. If you have the group of four or more we can craft a trip that suits you.

 

Highlights of your experience

  • Hike the volcanic wonders of Tongariro National Park 
  • Visit the largest lake in New Zealand, Lake Taupo 
  • Experience the thermal parks of Rotorua

 

Read our Blog about the Tongariro Crossing.
