Self Drive Culture & Heritage

Follow in the footsteps of the first Maori explorers. Visit living forests thousands of years older than the first New Zealanders. See how Maori and early European settlers came to live side by side, and how gold rush fever brought prosperity to our towns. All this and more, while you soak up some of the most beautiful scenery on Earth.

Explore the Islands of the upper North Island, swim in seas surrounded by golden sand beaches, soak up the culture and native wildlife. This trip is suitable for couples as well as families with young children. Experience thermal springs, Maori culture and beautiful nature reserves.
