Overview of your experience

Delight in the array of natural wonders which bless the North Island.

Begin with the Waitomo glow worm caves, then journey on to the geothermal marvels of Rotorua and active volcanoes and lava valleys in the world-renowned Tongariro National Park, before finally sipping coffee in the coolest little capital in the world - Wellington.

Excellent ensuite rooms in quality hotels and lodges and an eclectic mix of restaurants will make your evenings just as enjoyable as your days spent outdoors.

On 28 April 2025, the name of this trip was changed from Northern Portion to North Island Grand Hikes.

Highlights of your experience

  • The magical subterranean world of Waitomo
  • Captivating Māori cultural performance and hāngi dinner
  • Surreal geothermal features in Rotorua
  • The spectacular volcanic terrain of Tongariro National Park

To learn more about the Tongariro National Park read about Eva's out of office experience and Ange's hiking tour.
