There’s something addictive about New Zealand’s north. On the drive from Wellington to Auckland, the stunning landscape ranges from verdant green hills to black-sand beaches to vibrant farmland and vineyards to verdant old-growth bus, but it’s worth taking the scenic route for many more reasons than just the scenery.

Experience this majestic stretch of winding coastline on this incredible seven-day self-drive tour with included car hire and handpicked guided experiences, then cosy up with five-star hotel stays — including Sofitel Wellington and Hilton Lake Taupo.
