Hiking is the way to travel most closely to nature. This is something that fits in every New Zealand vacation even if you are only for a couple of days on transit in Auckland. Hiking in the Waitakere Ranges is a must.

Generally tracks are on offer in every difficulty and length with campsites or huts to spend the night.

Often organised itineraries enable to leave the group/bus and precede the journey at a later stage.

In late 2010 it will even be possible to set off on to The Long Pathway –Te Araroa from Cape Reinga to Bluff, which is expected to be finalised by then. This means 3,000km and 120 days hiking.


Vacations on a Bike

Deciding on cycling vacations can be fun and challenging. Bring your own, hire or buy a bike. Cycle the whole route or combine cycling with a bus tour.

Some adventurous off road mountain biking trips exhilarate with remote beautiful sceneries as well as with thrilling rides down. A thought that tickles especially when you know you get to the starting point only by helicopter.

Decide on the cornerstones of your New Zealand travel and let someone else fuss about everything else. A planned tour is a perfect way to spend the short vacation period enjoying rather than organising. These tours still give the opportunity to extend on a place you liked to further explore and rejoin the tour nine days later.

Do you want to take a break of driving but still prefer to discover the country independently in your own terms? Then mix and match bus, car rental, and train vacations.


I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.
