Top 18 Places To Visit In North Island New Zealand

We drove over 2,000 kilometers around the North Island to find the most epic stops—and we almost couldn’t believe how much this island packs in. So we narrowed it all down into the ultimate bucket list: the 18 absolute must-see wonders.
From the northernmost point at Cape Reinga, where the Tasman Sea meets the Pacific, to the cinematic Putangirua Pinnacles, this journey is packed with breathtaking landscapes and must-visit destinations. Explore Rotorua’s bubbling geothermal parks, raft down the world’s highest commercially rafted waterfall on the Kaituna River, and hike through volcanic terrain in Tongariro National Park. Road trip along the Forgotten World Highway, paddle through the misty valleys of the Whanganui River Journey, and catch the sunrise over Cathedral Cove.
Whether you love hiking, nature, or road trips, you’ll find incredible spots to add to your travel itinerary. Hit play and start planning your ultimate North Island road trip! 🎥✨
