This itinerary is the ultimate way to experience some of the best North Island beaches, mountains and waterfalls on a 9 day journey across the upper and central North Island, a route I have taken on many of my own personal photography trips. The photos speak for themselves and I can't think of a better way to explore the white sandy coastlines of the North Island as well as the volcanic and mountainous terrain of the Central Plateau than by going to these favourite spots of mine.
This adventure will take you from Auckland to the incredible coastal Coromandel Region, down to the Bay of Plenty, then on to volcanic regions of Rotorua and Taupo, across to the Central Plateau mountains, back up to the magical little town of Raglan stopping by Hobbiton on the way, and then finishing in Auckland covering some of the most incredible photo locations New Zealand has to offer.
This itinerary is designed if you are travelling in a campervan or self driving on a budget.
