North Island of NZ

Hi my loves!🫶🏽🫶🏽I’m so glad you’re here!

If you’re checking out my New Zealand travel guide, that means you’re planning to explore this magical country, and that makes me so happy. After falling in love with Australia, I never expected to feel the same way about another place… but NZ proved me wrong🌏

I spent months road-tripping the North Island in my van, and it blew me away every single day. This place is pure magic🏔️💫🗺️

Whether it was hiking to waterfalls, waking up to lakeside sunrises, soaking in hot springs, or immersing myself in Māori culture, every day brought something unforgettable🌈✨🌸

If you're dreaming of a North Island road trip but don’t know where to start, you’re in the right place. I’ve put together all the best spots, hidden gems, and little details that made my trip so special, I hope this guide helps you create your own adventure🌞

I’m really enjoying the ease by which I am able create a personalized itinerary from Cassa’s awesome destination suggestions. Her extensive travel documentation has led me to the following new conclusions about New Zealand s north island (hitherto unknown to me) and now I’m exited to make this dream vacation a reality: North Island has

  • Black sand beaches like the Hawaii’s big island
  • Snow covered peaks like Mount Hood/Canadian Rockies
  • Hot springs like Western US
  • Waterfalls pouring out of lush green cliff sides like Kauai
  • Crystalline swimming holes like western NC At first, prior to acquiring this guide, I was just focusing on the wineries of the Kumeu River area. Now, that’s not even on the itinerary (will try to squeeze one or two in 🤪!)

This guide is amazing! So well thought out and I can tell a lot of effort was put into writing the descriptions so that we are fully prepared for each activity!

I really liked the guide. All the photos and descriptions added to each place made planning the trip a lot quicker and easier. The app was really easy to use, and I really enjoyed the option to add where I wanted to go from the map overwork to my own itinerary. I was unsure if I should give it a 4 or 5 star rating, because some of the pins on the map does not correspond with the actual location of the place which is a bit disorienting and also when you sign up you get a message in the personal text box that reads don’t hesitate to reach out, but I never got a response when I did. ( to be fair the question I sent was kinda stupid and I doubt she would have been able to answer anyways, so in the end I didn’t matter that much. ) therefore it’s a 5/5 just make sure to double check the locations and don’t solely go of the directions from the app.
