A perfect two weeks of New Zealand’s North Island - scenery, beaches, culture and activity with family friendly accommodation.

This itinerary, easily amalgamated with a tour of North Island, showcases the majestic Southern Alps as well as coastal highlights. Underpinning all our family- friendly ideas throughout New Zealand is a preference for accommodation with full kitchen facilities, usually in aparthotels or private houses.

Our suggestion of three classic coastal corners (Coromandel, Bay of Islands and Abel Tasman National Park), each one easily incorporated into one of our broader New Zealand itineraries.

Nga Haerenga, the New Zealand Cycle Trail, is a series of 18 Great Rides which, when completed, will form a nationwide cycle network.  The first fully completed Great Ride opened on 20th November 2010.

Explore the country at your own pace, with unbeatable freedom to travel where you want without having to find a hotel at the end of the day. New Zealand has a network of well-appointed campsites, mostly equipped with barbecues and often in secluded locations, including national parks.
