An Unfiltered Travel Guide & Photo Diary
The North Island of New Zealand is blessed with spectacular scenery, ranging from bubbling thermal pools to fast flowing rivers. The best way to see all of this? Get up close and personal. This itinerary includes biking through Karangahake Gorge and hiking the Tongariro Crossing — one of the world's most famous one-day hikes — before jet boats provide the transport along the Whanganui River. Mix in some bubbling mud and a traditional hangi dinner, and this is the perfect active introduction to New Zealand.
While some travelers prefer to see New Zealand's landscapes from a tour bus, this trip is for those who want to be immersed in the action. It prioritizes hands-on experiences like hiking the Tongariro Crossing and cycling through gorges over leisurely sightseeing. If you'd rather feel the trail under your feet and the river spray on your face than simply observe from a distance, this multisport adventure is the perfect fit.
Day trips and alternative tours from other operators — good for adding to a longer trip or comparing styles.
