About the Journey

New Zealand’s largest city, Auckland offers a variety of attractions, and is a popular destination for its shopping, waterborne activities such as kayaking and surfing, and the area’s famous wine districts. The 400 mile trip from Wellington to Auckland takes travellers across the length of New Zealand’s North Island, and takes around eight hours to complete. This route offers breathtaking views, such as Mount Ruapehu, an active volcano and popular skiing resort, or Kaimanawa Forest Park. Travellers will also have the opportunity to visit Taupo, popular with tourists both for its hot springs and its range of exciting activities such as bungee jumping and jet boating.
