BORDER OPENING STATUS
The New Zealand borders are open to all visa free international tourists since May 2. All visitors need to be vaccinated but there is no quarantine required on arrival.
We have created a series of new itineraries based on our own backyard, where we offer our usual "best of best" but where we add something new and different, a hiking/trekking experience, usually of 2-3 nights, in a remote part of New Zealand where you will be able to shed the cell phone and wifi and just hear silence, just for a few days. It will do you a world of good!
This is our first of four "kiwi treks" itineraries, called Tora Coastal Trek.This New Zealand itinerary focuses on the North Island only, starting in Auckland and finishing at the bottom of the North Island, in the capital, Wellington. The way we have designed this Tora Trek itinerary is very simple, we give you the time to relax and get your feet on the ground in Auckland, then transfer to Lake Taupo for an amazing 2-3 nights in one of New Zealand's Top 5 luxury lodges, then transfer you to the bottom of the island where you start the Tora Private Hike for 3 days/3 nights. We handle all your luggage, your meals are all sorted and the odd bottle of Pinot is waiting each night. Once the hike is completed, we do a short transfer to another of our Top 5 luxury lodges for a few days of relaxation before finishing in the capital, Wellington where arts, movie studios and a very cool café scene and vibrant waterfront awaits.
We have no set days or dates on this itinerary, it all depends on how much or how little time you have at your disposal. All you need to know is the hike is on private property and the farm owners limit the number of hikers at 14 each day and the trek is one way so you will never encounter hikers coming the opposite way. BUT it also means the dates we can arrange for you to be on the hike will decide the rest of the itinerary dates. And, of course, when possible we can book the whole trek just for your group and make it exclusive. To Longitude 80, New Zealand is home, and although we may be slightly biased, what they say about New Zealand is true. It’s 100% pure…. And we can’t wait for you to discover it!
