Book this New Zealand itinerary for spectacular scenery and ultimate serenity!
**Enchanting Northland Tour Tips:**
- This tour is great if you want a magical, yet quick escape to soak up the sun – but it needn't end after 5 days, as our [10-day Northern Trail](https://hakatours.com/haka-plus-tours/10-day-north/) or [24-day Ultimate NZ](https://hakatours.com/haka-plus-tours/24-day/) tour also departs Auckland and takes in a huge array of highlights.
- Optional activities can be pre-booked or purchased on the road - just let your tour guide know. We can't always guarantee availability when booking on the road, so we suggest pre-booking any activities you especially want to do.
