The Far North is our easiest trip. Plenty of swimming and snorkelling in secret coves of turquoise water, and lots of great day hikes. It is also a bit warmer in the 'winterless north'. Highlights include: remote coastal hiking near the Bay of Islands, open coast kayaking at Whangaroa, two days of isolation at the very northern tip of New Zealand. Driving along 90 Mile Beach and exploring Cape Maria Van Diemen. And of course sandboarding on the big Te Paki dunes!
