For those who want a structured timetable, the 7 day upper North Island New Zealand road tour is perfect. This beautiful area has plenty of spectacular natural scenery, destinations of historical intrigue and friendly residents. The very first day of the itinerary is spent scouting Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city. With a populace of more than 1 million, a number of whom are Maori, Polynesian or Asian, it has a particularly multi-cultural feeling and is a quick-paced exciting place.

After soaking up the sights of Auckland city, you then start your journey in earnest, travelling 240 km’s north to Paihia. Situated in the beautiful Bay of Islands, the town is a perfect place to spend the third day, relaxing on the beach or paying a visit to some nearby historical sights, such as Russell, the original capital of the Country.

The fourth day of the plan involves the longest drive on the tour, from Paihia to Rotorua. The excursion is 474 km’s and takes 7-8 hours. Rotorua is a big tourist centre, and vacationers flock to enjoy the remedial thermal springs, and see the boiling mud pools and geysers. Cultural performances are often put up by Maori cultural groups, and if you have the chance to see one, it is an amazing experience.

On the fifth day, you journey only 80 kilometres to Taupo in the centre of the North Island. Thousands of years back, a massive volcanic eruption created what is now Lake Taupo, and the town overlooks this scenic natural wonder. It is a beautiful town and during the summer, it catches the fancy of many water sport enthusiasts. On day number 6, you journey on to Whitianga, in the Coromandel, a area popular for its sparsely populated beaches and amazing scenery. You end your tour on day number 7 in Auckland, where you can once again make the most of all that the city has to offer.

This tour provides an excellent overview of an area which is as attention grabbing as it is diverse. From the noisy metropolis of Auckland to the isolation of the Coromandel you will have a chance to really take in the one of a kind flavor of this wonderful country of New Zealand.
