Description

Venture off the beaten path to actively take in the varied natural wonders of the North Island. 

Start with an overnight hike into a river-side hut in the middle of the Jurassic-like rainforest of the Whirinaki before heading east to walk the high sections of the remote Lake Waikaremoana Great Walk deep in the magical rainforests of Te Urewera. Travel into the volcanic heart of the island to explore otherworldly geothermal features near Rotorua, and go on to discover the surreal volcanic wonderland of Tongariro National Park, staying high above the world in alpine huts. Finish your tour in Wellington - a cool harbourside capital city where you’re sure to find a great coffee and much to entertain.

The Ultimate North Island has short hikes, as well as two overnight hikes in Whirinaki Conservation Park and Tongariro National Park with stays at backcountry huts as well as opportunity to relax in lodges in beautiful locations. Day 1 to 8 of the Ultimate New Zealand tour, it is the ideal choice for those who have a little less time but still want an unforgettable immersive experience.  

To get a better impression of hiking the North Island read our Blog about the Tongariro Crossing and Lake Waikaremoana.
