Northern Trail - Wild Kiwi

The first stop on your Northern Voyager is Raglan. The stunning rugged landscape and black sand beach of Raglan is home to one of the world’s longest left-hand break with its laid-back, hippie attitude – there’s nothing like it. What better place to try your hand at surfing or if surfing isn’t your thing why not spend your time exploring the little bohemian town’s boutique shops and cafes?

After all that beach action it’s time for more water. Waitomo – a town better known for what’s beneath it….Crawl, abseil, raft and squeeze your way through the dark abyss, lit only by the twinkling light of the glow worms above – there are tons of ways to explore this incredible natural labyrinth. After all that adventure it’s time for a beer by the wonderful Lake Taupō.  

Meal(s) included: Breakfast

After a breakfast with a view, we give you time to explore the lake from the water’s edge or 15,000ft above it!! Up to you. We then head East to the Art Deco city of Napier and New Zealand’s most famous wine region – Hawkes Bay. We will have plenty of time to explore the Art Deco streets and buildings and a visit to Hawkes Bay wouldn’t be complete without a few wine tastings.

Today we switch the ocean air for something a little stronger; welcome to the geothermal centre of NZ – Rotorua. There’s heaps to do here – check out the bubbling mud pools at one of the geothermal parks, walk around the lake or even hike or bike the stunning Redwood Forest just on the edge of town. Looking for adventure? Check out luging, zorbing or give white water rafting the mighty Kaituna River a go.

After breakfast, we prepare for a beautiful drive to the stunning Coromandel Peninsula. We have a few scenic stops and short walks before we arrive at the coastal town of Hahei. Explore the astounding Cathedral Cove, made famous in the Chronicles of Narnia as the Gateway to Narnia. You can spend the afternoon kayaking, snorkelling or swimming in its crystal clear waters. After you’re done searching for the Land of Narnia, we’ll watch the sunset from our natural hot pools on Hot Water Beach.
