New Zealand - Central North Island

The Tongariro Crossing, North Island, New Zealand.

Welcome to the Central North Island.

From Pohutukawa lined beaches to mountain plains and deep blue lakes, you'll find a varied landscape in the Central North Island. And the one process that formed many of them, volcanic activity, is still very much in action today, creating dozens of unique and interesting places to stop.

For a real live volcano experience take a day trip to sulphurous White Island from Whakatane, or inland you can visit the Waitomo Caves and marvel at the great limestone caverns carved by seeping water, now home to glow worms and the biggest stalactites and stalagmites you've ever seen.

Take a break at Taupo, and go trout fishing, cruising or paragliding on the lake that was created by one of the biggest volcanic explosions the planet has ever seen.
