North Island
With stunning coastline and rich fertile countryside, the North Island is a picture of perfect health. It's a little warmer than its southern neighbour, and it's home to the country's biggest city, Auckland. Travel from the top, and the marine wonders of the Bay of Islands, through the bubbling thermal wonderland around Rotorua and Taupo to the vibrant capital city of Wellington. Just about everywhere will leave you with a big, dopey smile on your face.
