Overview

This multicultural destination is made up of a diverse population of Māori, European, Asian, and Pacific Peoples. The Māori, the indigenous people of New Zealand, conduct cultural performances and classes that can be enjoyed throughout the year. Framed by soft white-sand and swimmable beaches, the North Island also lends itself to a variety of marine wildlife tours and adventures. Alongside these coastal activities, lie lush landscapes of rainforest, geothermal waters, mountain terrains, volcanic peaks, and Hobbiton, where imaginations can frolic within the movie set from The Lord of the Rings.

What to Do

Rotorua: surrounded by mountains, forests, fresh water, volcanic landscapes, and healing geothermal waters, which provide an abundance of activities. From health spas to mountain biking, ziplining to fishing, the opportunity for outdoor recreation is abundant, as is the Māori culture and hospitality.

Bay of Plenty: Guests can dine well in the Bay of Plenty, with a bounty of fresh seafood, craft breweries, and several local acres providing kiwi, citrus, and avocados. This area also comes lined with several beaches, geothermal wonders, and marine wildlife.

Wellington: Take a ride on the cable car and explore this extraordinary city’s many museums, restaurants, and wineries. Wellington is known as the culinary capital of New Zealand with more restaurants and bars per capita than New York City.
