Hello Auckland! Begin your New Zealand north island tour in the gorgeous "City of Sails." (Flights to arrive prior to 4pm). At dinner at The Grill meet your Travel Director and travel mates.

Hotel: Horizon by SkyCity
Start the day getting to know New Zealand's passion for the water, sailing and Auckland's maritime history on a private and exclusive America's Cup tour at the New Zealand Maritime Museum with a Local Specialist. Then it's off to experience more of this seafaring city on a sightseeing tour beginning at the Auckland Waterfront. You'll visit Mission Bay, historic Bastion Point, and the Michael Joseph Savage Memorial with views of the Auckland skyline, North Shore, and Waitemata Harbour at every turn. You have the rest of the day free to explore the city as you like. If you want tips on how to spend your afternoon post Auckland tour, we have a few ideas. Perhaps a behind-the-scenes All Blacks experience, revealing insights into this record-breaking rugby team or a cruise on Auckland Harbour.

Leave Auckland behind and journey to Rotorua, a true hot spot on your NZ holiday. This afternoon, enjoy an exclusive Be My Guest experience at Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland, New Zealand's most colourful and diverse geothermal valley. Visit after it has closed to the public for a private tour to see The Devils Bath and bubbling mud pools with fascinating insights from an expert guide, and enjoy a mocktail and canapes at the aptly named champagne pool. Tonight, dive deep into Maori culture at Te P T Mori Experience, an important hub keeping tradition, art and music alive. Oh, and exciting Mori cuisine. Enjoy forest kai horotai (seasonal canapes) and chef choice aperitif, followed by a three-course dinner.
Hotel: Millennium
Today, choose your own adventure. We have plenty of ideas for the paths you might follow. Optional Rotorua tour sightseeing experiences include zipping across Rotorua's three lakes in an amphibious WWII-era Duck. There's also the option of relieving NZ holiday-weary limbs in the thermal waters of the Wai Ariki Hot Springs & Spa. The decision is yours.

Venture out of Rotorua this morning through pine forests and farmland, to the rushing rapids of Huka Falls where the Waikato River pours into a pool 11 metres below. Then you're on your way to the heart of the North Island and New Zealand's largest lake, Lake Taupo. The surrounding countryside is one of contrast: snow-blanketed mountains and alpine deserts, ancient forests and trout-filled rivers. After a full day of sightseeing and plenty of fun, you'll arrive in NZ's cool little capital of Wellington, set on a pretty harbour.
Hotel: Rydges
Your day in Wellington should - must - begin with a coffee. The city is known for its uber-cool cafes and with coffee in hand you will head out on city sights tour to take in highlights such as its iconic cable car, parliament, and Mt. Victoria. This afternoon is yours to discover Wellington. Your tour ends at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, so why not explore it (an entrance fee applies). Or the first urban completely fenced ecosanctuary of Zealandia, where the biodiversity of 225 hectares of forest is being restored. Tonight, there are so many restaurants and bars to choose from, you'll need a guidebook. Ask us for recommendations or explore at your leisure.

It's been a week of epic sights and adventures in the North Island, but sadly all good things must come to an end. Enjoy one last breakfast with your travel mates before your transfer to the Wellington Airport (flights anytime).
