New Zealand, 10 Days · Tailor-made by car
North Island Route
Discover New Zealand's North Island, home to geysers, hot springs and film locations
Awaiting for you in the Antipodes is an amazing country, formed by two large islands and surrounded by many other smaller ones. This is a once-in-a-lifetime tour around New Zealand's North Island, famous for its hot springs, lush vegetation, volcanoes and lakes. In addition to this fascinating reality, you can venture into a world of fantasy and magic, depicted in the cinema by the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and which has immortalised landscapes of almost unimaginable beauty. In this territory, known by the Maoris as 'the land of the long white cloud', you can delve into the culture of this Polynesian ethnic group that settled in the country centuries ago, and whose vestiges can be seen in truly original and eye-catching artistic expressions. Join us on a road trip that fuses city life with nature, which starts and ends in the two major urban centres, Wellington and Auckland, which in the past and present have battled for capital city status and cultural centre stage. Get ready for an experience packed with surprises.

Destinations Visited
Important remarks
- Driving through New Zealand: 1. To drive in New Zealand, you'll need to get an international driving licence, which is a very simple. Procedure that you can do at any traffic office. 2. The roads are in good conditions, but the terrain means that long detours are needed to reach certain places. 3. Obeying speed limits and drink driving levels are important elements to consider, with severe penalties for offenders.
- Triple rooms in Oceania are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.
- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.
- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.
- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.
- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.
- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.
- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
