Île du Nord

The North Island is where most of New Zealand’s population lives. It is home to Auckland – the largest city and international hub of the country – and Wellington – the country’s capital. As a result, it is a vibrant part of the country with a dynamic cultural scene, much fascinating history and many authentic opportunities to experience the rich Māori culture. As you venture further off the beaten track you will encounter unrivalled natural beauty at every corner of the island.

In the northern part, enjoy the stunning coastline and beautiful beaches and discover the most significant historic place of New Zealand: The Waitangi Treaty Grounds. Experience Rotorua, New Zealand’s colourful and bubbling geothermal centre. Wander through lushful countryside and dive into Lord of the Rings’ scenery with a visit to the Hobbiton Movie Set. Challenge yourself with one of the World’s best day hikes: the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, where otherworldly landscapes await.
In the southern part, indulge on delicious local food and wine in the Wellington region and discover many cultural attractions.

Combining beautiful landscapes, rich culture, history and lively cities, the North Island will offer you a diverse holiday experience!
