As a landmass, New Zealand鈥檚 North Island catapults between topographical extremes. In one corner, it鈥檚 all gentle hills plaited with vineyards; in its middle, it鈥檚 punctured by vast shield volcanoes. Its northernmost corners are semi-tropical, with golden-sand beaches, while farther south, geysers and mud pools bubble and froth on the geothermal plateau. While many visitors tend to overlook the North Island for the more high-octane, alpine scenery of the South Island, our specialists are eager to show you just how many rewarding cultural and outdoorsy experiences North Island encompasses.

Some of the world鈥檚 best day hikes are found here, including routes which see you skirt the country鈥檚 mightiest volcanoes: the traditionalists stick to Tongariro National Park, but we鈥檇 also recommend you explore Taranaki and New Plymouth. You can go birdwatching in predator-free Kapiti Island, relax in the winelands of Napier or the sandy coves of the Coromandel Peninsula, and take a dolphin-watching boat tour in the Bay of Islands. And, New Zealand鈥檚 M膩ori community clusters on the North Island. We鈥檝e picked a handful of private guided tours that aim to acquaint you with their culture in a respectful, intimate way, from twilight forest walks to a M膩ori perspective of Auckland.
