Welcome to the North Island

The North Island, or Te Ika-a-Māui, is renowned for its warmer climate and geothermal wonders. From the subtropical beaches of Northland to the volcanic landscapes of Tongariro National Park, there's something for everyone.

Some highlights include the Bay of Islands, Cathedral Cove and Hot Water Beach in the Coromandel and Rotorua, with hot springs and Māori culture. If adventure calls, jump off Auckland's Sky Tower or hike across an active volcano along the Tongariro Crossing!

This three-week itinerary is designed for anyone with a dreamy length of time to spare exploring Aotearoa's most underrated island.

I hope you have the most incredible time exploring, and love this island as much as I do :) x

Welcome to Aotearoa New Zealand! Whether you’re a local or an international tourist, thank you for wanting to explore our little slice of paradise.

After landing in Auckland, check into your accommodation. I recommend staying at a hotel in the CBD so you’re close to everything, including the Viaduct, Skytower and Downtown Ferry Terminal, which are on your itinerary over the next few days.

Note: Auckland is a fairly busy city with limited parking options. Instead of picking your campervan up from the airport when you arrive, I recommend arranging to collect it on day 3 of this itinerary, either from a central company or by catching an Uber back to the airport.

Spend your first afternoon/evening in Auckland by easing into the city. Head down to the Viaduct to wander along the waterfront and then up to the top of Maungawhau (Mount Eden) for sunset and a picnic. It’s one of the best views in the city and worth adding to your Auckland bucket list!

Alternatively, if you’d prefer to go out for dinner, I’d recommend Soul Bar & Bistro, Depot, Non Solo Pizza, Lilian or Otto.
