Adventure Hihi Tour 10 Days / 9 Nights, Auckland to Auckland

Adventure Tours + : Includes shared dorm-style (4-8 share) accommodation and adventure plus!

• Adventure tours are more in line with Stray’s traditional backpacker product and are jammed packed with activities, and slightly longer than our Select Tours.
• The plus icon represents MORE. More activities, more people in your room (ha), more adventure (included activities), and more travel days!
• Tours include comfortable dorm-style accommodation and daily breakfasts so travellers can budget more easily, and they don’t have to worry about peak periods and full accommodations!
• Tours also include some activities we think they should NOT miss, but we’ve left plenty of time for optionals so they can curate their own adventure too!

• Hike Auckland’s most iconic volcano on the deserted Rangitoto Island and explore the world-famous Cathedral Cove.
