Come to Aotearoa, the Land of the Long White Cloud or Middle Earth as seen in the Lord of the Rings trilogy . A beautiful place with a rich mixture of Maori, Polynesian and European influences - a perfect place to relax, unwind and contemplate the universe and your place in it.
On this tour in the North Island we visit
- Auckland
- the Bay of Islands and the historical village of Russell
- Hokianga and the Waipoua Forest
- Kauri forest and the giant Kauri tree, Tane Mahuta - ‘God of the Forest’

A highlight of this tour is the Twilight Encounter in the Waipoua Forest.
