Bluebridge Cook Strait Ferry
Uncomplicated way to get to the South Island, but very expensive even if you travel at night.
Friendly staff.

North Island ▷ Tairāwhiti Gisborne ▷ Lake Waikaremoana ▷
Lake Waikaremoana Great Walk
You are surrounded by a lot of breathtaking landscapes.
The huts and campsites are in really good condition and the track is not crowded.

North Island ▷ Taranaki ▷ New Plymouth ▷
Puke Ariki Museum and Library
Very different and interesting exhibitions.
I spend hours walking through the 'geography and nature' section.

North Island ▷ Waikato ▷ Raglan ▷
Raglan Backpackers and Waterfront Lodge Hostel
Good boards for beginners and advanced surfers.
Wetsuits are old and while surfing in wintertime, you get cold quickly.

North Island ▷ Hawkes Bay ▷ Napier ▷
MTG Hawke's Bay
Nice exhibitions, but I would not spend more that an hour to go through.
The exhibition about the earthquake in Napier was interesting, but I would wish for some more geographical information.
