North Island

Trip Planning & Itineraries

A full exploration of the North Island's volcanic, river-swept landscape doesn't always occur to visitors, but a circumnavigation of this ragged island's secluded beaches and secret forests won't disappoint.

Depart Auckland for a snorkel off Goat Island Beach. Continue on to the iconic Bay of Islands to peruse the historic confines of Russell and to see where a landmark treaty was signed at Waitangi. After sprawling on the gorgeous sands of Matai Bay, swing north to the desolate dunes of Ninety Mile Beach.

Savor a wine tour

Savor a wine tour, from Viator.com

New Zealand is home to 400-odd vineyards. On the North Island there's accomplished viticulture west of Auckland, where speciality fruit wines can be sampled, and east of the city on Waiheke Island, where numerous wineries compete for vintage accolades.

The fertile plains around Gisborne are devoted to chardonnay, while Hawke's Bay also loves its chardy but squeezes out some premier cabernet sauvignon and merlot too. Martinborough in the Wairarapa region creates outstanding pinot noir flavors.
