1 Bay of Islands: Bursting with marine life, New Zealand's oldest European settlement is the perfect place to escape as you explore the deserted beaches and relax in the tranquil bays of New Zealand's finest Maritime Park. 4 Rotorua: The heartland of New Zealand's Maori culture and a major geothermal area. Try your hand at a traditional Maori Haka as you dodge bubbling mud pools and spouting geysers. 2 Auckland: The main gateway to New Zealand, this bustling metropolis has everything from beautiful beaches, a charming harbour, great shopping and a vibrant nightlife. Take it all in with 360 degree views from the top Sky Tower. 5 Taupo: In the volcanic heart of the North Island, this beautiful town sits on the shores of New Zealand's largest lake, beneath the snow capped Mount Ruapehu. 3 Waitomo: Go black water rafting into the heart of New Zealand's largest and most impressive cave system, and find your way back out by the light of millions of glow worms. 6 Wellington: New Zealand's capital city sports a vibrant lifestyle, rich with art and culture, including the world renowned Te Papa Museum. It's also your launching point to the South Island.
