Overview of your experience

The North Island of New Zealand is packed to the brim with incredible landscapes, and there’s no better way to experience its vastness than on our North Island Adventure.

Discover for yourself our favourite part of the island as you hike the renowned Tongariro Alpine Crossing, bike through redwood forests, and walk through other-wordly caves lit by the mysterious glowworm.

With two local guides and every detail looked after, you’ll learn about the intimate Maori culture and visit spiritual Kauri forests without a worry in the world.

Starting and finishing in Auckland, all you’ll need to do is walk off the plane, and you’ll be off on a hiking tour of a lifetime!

Highlights of your experience

  • Hike Mt Te Aroha for spectacular views
  • Visit a geothermal wonderland and be captivated by a Maori cultural experience
  • Experience Whakarewarewa Forest
  • Cycle the Tongariro River
  • Hike the Tongariro Alpine Crossing
  • Float along a subterranean stream to view Waitomo Cave glow-worms

Check out our blog about the Tongariro Alpine Crossing for more information.

Our Active Earth Adventures site has adventures beyond New Zealand as well as cycling, skiing, rafting... holidays in New Zealand.
