North Island

With stunning coastline and rich fertile countryside, the North Island is a picture of perfect health. It's a little warmer than its southern neighbour, and it's home to the country's biggest city, Auckland. Travel from the top, and the marine wonders of the Bay of Islands, through the bubbling thermal wonderland around Rotorua and Taupo to the vibrant capital city of Wellington. Just about everywhere will leave you with a big, dopey smile on your face.

Big and mini adventures

 Experience Description  Price from 

AJ Hackett Bungy, Auckland

Half day

Launch yourself off the bridge from our specially-constructed-and sensationally-suspended retro 'Bungy pod'. We operate the only Bungy in Auckland; and think you won't be able to capture the true spirit of the place without giving it a go.  £53

Tandem Skydive, Rotorua 

Half day

Brace yourself - you're about to jump out of a plane at 15,000 feet up in the air, and plummet so fast with nothing but the whole of Rotorua way down beneath you. But of course, a qualified instructor will accompany you in tandem to ensure you land safely!  £115
