As a New Zealander, I've spent my whole life exploring up and down our beautiful country. I've lived on both and North and the South Islands for many years, and when I was living on one, I visited the other every single year. While there's so much to see and I'll probably never see it all, this list is all from my personal experiences around the North Island - Te Ika-a-Māui - and some of the things I've done and recommend you check out if you're visiting. I'll be adding to this, too!
