About the trip

This seven-night tour with G Adventures takes you through the diverse landscapes of New Zealand’s North Island, focusing on active exploration. It begins with cycling through the Karangahake Gorge, where the trails wind past old gold mining relics amid steep-sided river valleys. The itinerary includes a hike on the Tongariro Alpine Crossing — a demanding day’s walk best undertaken in fine weather — across volcanic terrain dotted with crater lakes and ash fields.

Between these physically engaging highlights, you’ll ride a jet boat along the Whanganui River, moving quickly through forest-lined stretches with hills rising sharply beside you. The tour also includes time in Rotorua, known for its geothermal mud pools and Maori culture, giving a chance to relax when not on the move. Accommodations involve twin-share lodges and hotels, reflecting a modest approach without luxury pretenses.
