The North Island is full of fun and fabulous contrasts! Up north you’ll find the idyllic Coromandel where you can soak in a hot pool that you’ve dug in the sand or venture through a geothermal wonderland of geysers. You can take a side-trip to Middle Earth countryside and explore a Hobbit Hole, admire lush rainforests and marvel at a volcanic desert – you’ll be amazed by the variety of experiences and landscapes on offer. Departures either run from Auckland (North Island) to Christchurch (South Island) or Christchurch to Auckland - see the date page for more info.
Due to the layout of the lodges and hostels stayed at, you may not have an ensuite bathroom for the majority of locations. The operator does secure ensuite rooms when available.
