- Learn about the ways of life in the Whakarewarewa Maori Village, where geothermal activity has become part of everyday life and local culture is practised and protected.
- Tuck into the best of Kiwi kai (food), from farm-to-table produce and classic fish and chips on the beach. Maybe try some regionally brewed beers, local wines or the fresh seafood NZ is known for.
- Explore the seaside town of Mount Maunganui with a high-up hike to the summit or during a low-key day catching waves at the beach.

Is this trip right for you?
- Accommodation on this trip is in multi-share dormitories with shared facilities. Dorms consist of 4-8 beds. Our first preference is always single gender rooming allocation. If this isn’t possible, accommodation will be in mixed gender dorms. People travelling together may be separated due to rooming configurations. You may also be required to share with non-Intrepid travellers.
