One Week in New Zealand: North Island

Jump into a world of geothermal wonders, white water rapids and oceanside summits on this 8-day adventure across New Zealand’s North Island. Travel northbound from Wellington for farmlands in Taihape and geysers in Rotorua. Learn about Maori culture from a local guide in the Whakarewarewa Maori Village, laugh your way down the Rotorua hillside in a Zorb, hike up Mount Maunganui, then sit back for fish and chips on the beach. Of all New Zealand’s assets, its people are top of the list. Embrace a warm welcome from the locals as you explore their backyard with your new group of friends. Welcome to the North Island.Accommodation on this trip is in multi-share dormitories with shared facilities. Dorms consist of 4-8 beds. Our first preference is always single gender rooming allocation. If this isn’t possible, accommodation will be in mixed gender dorms. People travelling together may be separated due to rooming configurations. You may also be required to share with non-Intrepid travellers.
