But a North Island tour isn’t complete without visiting Rotorua, a place that’s heavily soaked in Maori traditions and culture of the local Arawa people. The enthusiasm with which the local culture is displayed is truly humbling, and you’ll experience that nowhere better than at The Realm of Tane, a Maori Hangi feast and concert. You’ll also want to experience the various geothermal relaxation activities, including therapeutic thermal springs and sulphur scented sites.
If you’re wanting a full North Island tour, you also can’t miss visiting some other notable places, like the stunning Bay of Islands, Coromandel, Lake Taupo, Napier and Wellington. No matter who you are, or what you’re interested in, The North Island has something for you.
