As New Zealand's capital, this city is rich in political history. Part of Wellington’s charm is its close proximity to nature.

Dominating the spectacular waterfront is Te Papa Tongrewa - the interactive, innovative museum that’s one of New Zealand’s key cultural attractions.

Enjoy the clean, green scenery as you drive north through the friendly townships of the Wairarapa. The mani park at Masterton has an aviary, aquarium, deer park and a small boating lake. Or you could rediscover your childhood at the local toy museum. Dannevirke is known for its Scandinavian heritage, which dates back to 1872.

Day 3: (Flexible / Suggestion Only): Dannevirke to Napier 124 kms

Day 3 Will see you heading North and through the rural service towns of Waipukurau and Waipawa both have historic buildings to view. You don't have to travel far to find yourself on another planet. Hastings was devastated by a huge earthquake in 1931. As a result, the city has a great deal of remarkable Art Deco and Spanish Mission-style architecture. Fabulous parks and delicious ice cream are two other reasons to visit Hastings. In the apple and pear season, there’s no better place to be – Hastings is New Zealand’s leading stone fruit region. The city of Napier is only 20 kilometres to the north of Hastings. It was also levelled by the 1931 earthquake, and rebuilt in the style of the times. Napier is now considered the Art Deco Capital of the world. To get in touch with the history of this region, visit the Earthquake Exhibition and Nga Tukemata (an exhibition which celebrates the Maori history of the East Coast) at the local museum. The vineyards of Hawke’s Bay are all within easy reach of Napier. Another attraction is the gannet colony at Cape Kidnappers.

Day 5: (Flexible / Suggestion Only): Around Taupo

Day 5 Enjoy the splendour of one of the most picturesque lakes in New Zealand. Situated in the volcanic heart of the North Island, the Lake Taupo region is home to New Zealand's largest fresh water lake, fascinating geothermal areas and the famous Huka Falls. Maori mythology is richly interwoven with the geothermal features of the region. Lake Taupo was created by a gigantic volcanic eruption in 181AD. At 616 square kilometres, it is as big as Singapore Island. The lake's attractive pumice sand beaches give it the appearance of an inland ocean. Visitors come for the scenery and action-packed adventure, which are accompanied by a genuinely friendly local culture. The lakeside community is alive with great places to eat, drink and party. Trout fishing should be on your menu of things to do, because this region is one of the last true wild trout fisheries in the world. Local guides will soon get you hooked, and there are plenty of restaurants happy to cook your catch.

Explore the geothermal areas and discover the unique culture of New Zealand’s Maori people. Rotorua is entertaining in any weather, at any time of the year. There is a very strong sulphuric smell, but with so many fantastic sights you’re quickly distracted.

Volcanologists agree that the mountain is 'dormant' rather than extinct. It takes about five hours to climb to the summit of Mt Taranaki. The snow-capped cone of Mt Taranaki lures visitors who appreciate geological phenomena. Apart from one small bump - a subsidiary vent called Fantham's Peak - the mountain's cone is beautifully symmetrical. Often described as 'New Zealand's most climbed mountain', Mt Taranaki provides non-mountaineers with an achievable summit challenge. For those interested in botany, Egmont National Park makes it possible to observe the progression of plant species from surf to summit. The lowland forest is scattered with rimu and rata trees, which gradually make way for kamahi, totara and kaikawaka. Above the forest you'll find sub-alpine scrub and alpine herbs. A comprehensive network of walking tracks provides access to the unique beauty of the park. The Egmont National Park has 13 entrances, making it one of New Zealand's most accessible wilderness areas. A variety of short walks can be found around Dawson Falls and East Egmont. Don't miss the Kamahi walk, at East Egmont, through the Goblin Forest.
