Sweet As North

Trip Overview

Feeling brave? Why not get your adrenalin pumping with an extreme sport or two? When in New Zealand...

Worth noting…

    Welcome to Wellington, Topdecker! If you’re a Lord of the Rings fan, why not hit up the Weta Workshop for maximum Middle Earth vibes this morning? Then: after heading to Mt Victoria for 360-degree city, harbour and ocean views, we’ll leave Wellington behind us and move on to Tongariro National Park. Get excited: tomorrow we’ll be able to roam the park as we please!
