To The Top - Northland:
Continuing on from a Bay of Islands you can go to the very top of New Zealand. The far north contains a variety of attractions including Cape Reinga, giant Kauri trees, a “90 mile beach”, massive sand dunes, and an abundance of marine life.

Great Barrier Island:
If you have had enough of the big city and want to escape then Great Barrier Island is just the place. Just North of the Coromandel Coast lies this amazing rugged Island complete with stunning beaches, excellent hiking, hot pools and a unique pace of life.

Whanganui River Trip:
The Whanganui River winds its way from the mountains of the central North Island out to the West Coast at Wanganui. With huts and campsites conveniently located along its banks and some impressive scenery the river is ideal for canoe travel. With just enough rapids to keep it interesting this is a safe, but fun, trip.

Anyone who lives in Auckland will tell you we can only survive by escaping to the coast every now and then. There are plenty of great spots close to the city.

There are so many great places to go if you have a weekend free. Or even better a Monday or Friday off as well.
