North Island holidaysin New Zealand
Though smaller than neighbouring South Island, the North Island packs in a full spectrum of sights and experiences. From cosmopolitan cities and authentic opportunities to engage in Maori culture to amazing geothermal activity and a sublime combination of forests, mountains and beaches. North Island is totally captivating. New Zealand’s largest city, Auckland nestles between two harbours, the Manukau Harbour on the Tasman Sea and the Waitemata Harbour on the Pacific Ocean. Aside from the urban side of life, which Auckland does very well, it’s just half an hour from beautiful beaches, hiking trails and a dozen enchanting holiday islands.
