North Island

The North Island combines culture, natural beauty, and vibrant cities. Auckland, the country’s largest city, sits in the northern part of the island with the Bay of Islands just a few hours further north offering coastal, ‘tropical style’ beaches. Within three hours south, you reach coastal towns such as Tauranga and the geothermal and cultural hub of Rotorua, known for its strong Māori heritage. At the southern end, Wellington adds world class venues and a creative capital atmosphere. With wine regions, national parks, and diverse coastlines throughout, the North Island is a versatile choice for events, incentives, and group travel and more. As a nationally operating DMC, PPG Tours covers the entire North Island with local teams in every region, providing strong on the ground expertise and connections.
