Te Paki Coastal Track
If you can get up to the North you might as well go all the way up.
Here you have magical breathtaking views that will give you a sense of fresh air and sense of location of where in the world you are!

Mount / Mt Ruapehu
Once again very worth the climb, stunning view at the top.
You can race the clouds and you can reach the snow and have a ski ride. Walk it for free up and then see if you can get a free ride down in the lift.

Tongariro Alpine Crossing
This publicly available track is incredibly beautifully stunning.
The diversity in nature/vegetation you can see in a matter of hours is great. The 4 day walk or even 1 day walk are a must do in New Zealand. The Mt Ngauruhoe is super fun to climb, challenging but super worth it. Sticks would be recommended but if you do not have any the good ole' hands and feet will suffice. I suggest not doing it too late so you can see more.

Whanganui Journey
Amazing vegetation, dense bush and lots of green.
Really feels like you are in Jurassic Park. I would recommend seeing the Harahurutu Waterfalls as you lie in a green canopy overhanging a 50m cliff. So peaceful!

Karekare Beach
This is the white, white sands beach area.
So beautiful and the water with the sunsets are one of the best. Go!
