DAY 1- Welcome to Wellington Welcome to Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand’s vibrant capital city, where your Northern Kiwi adventure begins. Wellington, though compact in size, is surrounded by nature and fueled by creative energy. If you have time today, explore all that the city has to offer. Stroll along the waterfront, discover the stories of New Zealand in the Te Papa museum, or treat your tastebuds to one of the many world-class cafes and restaurants this city offers. DAY 2- Wellington to River Valley It's time to hit the road! Today we travel to River Valley, the perfect setting to immerse yourself in nature. Located beside the Rangitikei River in the central North Island of New Zealand, River Valley is a remote lodge where you can seek adventure or embrace the solitude and blissfully disconnect DAY 3- River Valley to Taupo Today we continue north to Taupō, a place of extraordinary natural beauty and wonder centred on a vast, sparkling lake formed from a volcanic eruption.
