New Zealand’s North Island Gems You Shouldn’t Miss
(4-5 Day Itinerary)
New Zealand’s North Island is refreshingly beautiful and we feel it has been underrated in several aspects. A vibrant geothermal diversity of nature can be seen here at its best. One can simply be awestruck by the hidden world of magical blue glow worm colonies residing in deep caves and the captivating geothermal lakes that look like giant colour palette.

North Island's Stunning Scenery
The mist sprayed in rainy weather makes it smell like forest everywhere. The North island encapsulates vast green peninsulas far to the coastal edges with a bunch of gorgeous mini islands ideal for weekend getaways. It also features glow worm caves, vibrant geothermal segments, boiling mud pools, damp herby rainforests alongside rugged capes and beaches.
