Of all New Zealand’s assets, its people are top of the list. Embrace a warm welcome from the locals as you explore their backyard with your new group of friends. Welcome to the North Island.

Trip Highlights

Laugh, slip and slide your way down Mt Ngongotaha inside a giant inflatable zorb, designed for maximum fun.
Learn about the ways of life in the Whakarewarewa Maori Village, where geothermal activity has become part of everyday life and local culture is practised and protected.
Tuck into the best of Kiwi kai (food), from farm-to-table produce and classic fish and chips on the beach. Maybe try some regionally brewed beers, local wines or the fresh seafood NZ is known for.
Explore the seaside town of Mount Maunganui with a high-up hike to the summit or during a low-key day catching waves at the beach.
Soak up the country's natural wonders in the hot springs or get your heart rate up with whitewater rafting, zip-lining and more during your free time.
