New Zealand nature certainly boasts a huge variety of rocks, plants and animals, and we will propose them all to you in more ways than you can imagine. But we are also adamant that the few cities with a decent population are really worth visiting. They are beautiful and clean, they will make you feel safe day and night, and they offer a wide range of activities for the whole family.
If you are after the very big picture, it is a bit difficult for us to recommend one island more than the other, each of them having its own special thing. Make up your mind according to what you like or your centres of interest. The only advice would be not to try and see it all unless you can actually give yourself enough time.

Auckland
Arrive Auckland, transfer to your accommodation and then spend the day at leisure!
The "Big Little City" has so much to offer: check out some of the local markets; visit nearby Mt Eden, the highest point in the city; enjoy boutique shopping and exciting dining options in one of the cities many districts; visit a museum or enjoy a wildlife cruise from the harbour.
Accommodation: the Hotel Britomart
Auckland - Taupo
Today is the day you pick up your car, and then head off to the beautiful area of Taupo.
After breakfast, you will be picked up by a cab that will transfer you to the car hire depot. Then: freedom! Head to Taupo, known as the adventure capital of the North. A quirky small town, the stunning surrounds are what brings visitors back time after time. Visit waterfalls, go for an (epic) hike, snack on fresh prawns at the prawn farm, visit the Volcano centre or - if you're feeling really adventurous - try parachuting or bungee jumping.
Accommodation: Acacia Cliffs Lodge
Meals: Breakfast, pre-dinner drinks & canapes
Orakei Korako - Taupo
Today, head to the Orakei-Korako Geyserland and Thermal Park (included) and enjoy some geyser action!

Taupo - Napier - Havelock North
Head to beautiful Napier and check out the famous 'Art-Deco' town. Napier is a real journey back in time since its reconstruction in the Art Deco style following the earthquake of 1931. It is also an excellent wine and gastronomic region in general. Wander the streets and enjoy the decor, drive up to mountain lookouts, visit a museum or relax amongst the vines at one of the many fantastic wineries. Foodies can enjoy the 'food trail' which takes visitors to a range of farm gates and local producers.

Wellington is a lively and vibrant city, perched on a hill at the base of the North Island. There is so much to do and see here: we highly recommend a visit to the famous Te Papa Museum, a trip on the iconic cable car and Zealandia, an amazing bird sanctuary right in the heart of the city. There are also plenty of markets on offer; trendy neighbourhoods teeming with boutique shopping, dining and bars; Mt Victoria providing panoramic views over the city and much more.
