What people love about New Zealand North Island Tours
- Coasts & Culture Tour
Everyday was different. A well planned out tour giving a rich experience. You want to know what Maori culture is in a short time? This is it!!!!!!
- NZ Intro North
I had the most amazing time on my tour of the north island. Our tour leader, Rhys, was incredible. He was really knowledgeable, fun and he made our trip truly unforgettable. We saw some amazing places in the north island. My highlight was the Maori experience as well as the glow worm caves. I would highly recommend the tour. If you’re thinking about booking it, do it!

"Had high hopes & excitement for this experience with Haka however it turned into a bad one. Tried to discuss some things with my guide & the office ops manager thinking I would get a little bit of concern .. no customer service & care .. but no! anyway I would not recommend you book with them. To explain more some of the things that annoyed me & made me regret my booking are: The Itinerary is not inline with the trip! The Cultural aspect (including guides) is now lost with this company! (having sold themselves to Intrepid) The cost of these trips include very little. eg: only breakfast is included not at least a dinner or 2! and the whole tour is primarily focused on just extra paid activities, so factor all this in on top of daily food, drinks, flights, insurance etc. ‘lodge stay?’ some… then 2 star backpackers! Private room upgrade yes .. for a huge extra cost & with no en-suite. I could add more but instead I recommend you booking with someone else!

"My group was phenomenal, we all had a blast together. Our guide was very communicative, using WhatsApp and a photo circle to share information, resources and photos. I’m not used to hopping hostels, so that was a bit rough, definitively pack light and try to be organized. I should have done a better job researching temperature as well - as it got much colder than I was expecting. Overall the trip was incredible and I did everything I wanted to do.
