From sub-tropical Northland with its spectacular coastline and thick
dense rainforests to the volcanic springs of Rotorua and Lake Taupo in
its centre, to the rolling vineyards, apple orchards, lavender fields
and olive groves of the Wairarapa in the south, North island is a truly
diverse landscape.It’s only natural then that it is the perfect
setting for a host of different holiday experiences. The nation’s
capital city of Wellington in the south and the vibrant and
cosmopolitan city of Auckland in the North are your gateways into the
delights of North Island and both enjoy stunning harbour locations and
offer great shopping, restaurants and bars. From both you are on
nature’s doorstep within minutes and whether you prefer the pleasures
of the coast, the pastoral charms of the country or wilder tropical and
volcanic climes you will not be disappointed. If you simply want to
relax and enjoy at a leisurely pace the unspoilt natural wonders,
fascinating local culture and warm hospitality of charming hotels or
luxury lodges you will find no better escape. Alternatively if you
enjoy more active pursuits whether on land, sea or indeed falling
through the air then North Island will thrill you.
