Explore Auckland & Northland

From the energy of Auckland to the beaches and coastal landscapes of Northland, this is a region made for exploring by campervan. Discover New Zealand's largest city, cruise across the Hauraki Gulf, unwind on beautiful beaches or follow the road north towards the Bay of Islands and Cape Reinga.

Beyond Auckland, Northland offers a slower pace and plenty of opportunities to get out into nature. Explore sheltered east-coast beaches, rugged west-coast landscapes, native forests and historic seaside towns, with plenty of places to stop and explore along the way.

Travelling by campervan gives you the freedom to experience Auckland and Northland at your own pace. Take a scenic detour, stay a little longer at your favourite beach or head further north to discover more of what makes the top of the North Island so special.
