    Default Places to visit on North Island

    HI

    Planning a week away from 5th January, plans for South Island havent worked out unfortunately -

    Hastings - Taupo/Rotorua - Mt Manganui/Tauranga - Coromandel - Hamilton - New Plymouth - Hastings

    Anyone recommend places to visit ? Been to Taupo/Rotorua so know what to see there

    My dad hopefully gets here 29th December from the UK.

    Thanks in advance!

    Not sure about other places but Taupo/Rotorua are MUST in north. I only drove through and area is eye catching.

    lots but it depends what you like, there is a marori village, thermal geezers, luge, hot springs to bathe, a duck boat, several jet boat rides in both Taupo and rotorua if you search on Rotorua attractions you will come accroos these and lots more

    Waitomo - glow-worm caves, and another you can raft through (not far from Rotorua).

    Why, Wellington and the lovely Pauatahanui Inlet north of it on the Kapiti Coast, of course!

    No. Porirua is at the southern end of the Kapiti Coast, according to tons and tons of people I've talked with.

    THE only one place on NI is Waitangi - of course- which is unique!!

    And on the other side the Kauris on the West coast are "quite" unique too!
