One of our Oceania trek ideas invites you to explore mythical places and wild nature. Volcanic hills and the Pacific Ocean are just some of the wonders you'll encounter in the Auckland landscape. Several natural sites will dazzle you with their unique beauty! You'll traverse national parks such as Tongariro, with its spectacular volcanic masses. This trek gives you a degree of freedom in how you organise your journey — from choosing your accommodation to setting your own pace. You'll be guided not by a guide, but by maps and trail notes.
