While Auckland is the major tourist gateway to the North Island, you can start and finish a guided tour from Wellington. Global Journeys has such tours. The tours you can take from Wellington range from six to 16 days. These tours take in either the North Island or the South Island but not both islands (aside from Wellington city, of course).
Choose from tours that start and finish in Wellington, taking in the key sights and attractions of the South Island. Or, start your tour in Wellington, see the South Island and depart New Zealand from Christchurch. Alternatively, head north from Wellington and explore the diverse landscapes of the North Island from the windy city to the Bay of Islands, departing from Auckland.
You can travel in luxury with a small group, staying in boutique accommodation or choose from affordable options. For adventure seekers, choose a tour with options to hike, kayak and sky dive. Regardless of your travel style, you can find a tour from Wellington.
