Kia Ora! Welcome to Auckland, the City of Sails. In the evening, we invite you to a welcome drink followed by dinner. In a relaxed atmosphere, you will meet your fellow travelers and receive an overview of the days ahead.

We follow the Pacific Coast Highway through the scenic Coromandel region to Whitianga. Our accommodation is located directly at the beach, where once Captain Cook raised the British flag - perfect for beach walks or simply relaxing.

We visit the famous Hot Water Beach, a unique natural phenomenon. We then continue to Rotorua, renowned for its Geysers and geothermal activity. In the evening, we enjoy an authentic Maori cultural experience at Te Puia, including a traditional Hangi dinner, dances, and a powerful Haka, with views of the Pohutu Geyser.

Overwhelmed by the nature events we experienced in Rotorua, we continue our trip to Taupo where we will stop at the Lake Taupo, the largest inland water of New Zealand and enjoy the lovely view of Mount Ruapehu and its height of 2797m. Our destination today is Napier, after the great earthquake in 1931, it is a newly built city in the Art-Deco style. We will spend the night near the beach promenade, the Marine Parade.

A relaxed drive brings us to Wellington, New Zealand's vibrant capital. Along the way, we stop at scenic viewpoints and experience the country’s diverse landscapes.

After visiting the Te Papa National Museum, we cross the Cook Strait aboard the Interislander ferry to Picton. We then continue directly to Nelson, known for its abundant sunshine and charming town center.
