New Zealand : Sunset Trail

Departures: Year Round Duration: 5 nights Price: from £677

This 6-day itinerary, which can be combined with a South Island itinerary, is an excellent choice if you’re looking to get away from the main tourist areas. Western North Island is a dominated by the iconic sight of Mt Taranaki, but the region also offers surf-pounded beaches and fertile bush.

Sunset Trail SD

This succinct North Island itinerary explores the lesser-visited areas of Taranaki and Kings Country. Comprising fertile farming country, picturesque gardens and in the case of the former a surf-swept coastline. Cone shaped Mt Taranaki is the most instantly recognisable feature of this region, while Waitomo, south of Auckland is famous for its underground caves.
