In this section of the Kids Friendly New Zealand website you will find our guides to family travel throughout the North Island of New Zealand

The North Island of New Zealand is a wonderful adventure playground for families. You can enjoy indoor rock climbing on the North Shore (Auckland), have a fun time playing mini-golf in Whangamata, or try your balancing skills at Tauranga's Memorial Park! 

How it works

To find out more about individual regions, just place the cursor over the area name on the left-hand side of this page. 

You may find that more than one destination appears to the right of the region. If this happens you can choose individual towns or areas within the region you selected.

If no other towns appear on the right of the region then just click on the region for more information. Check out the South Island.

Pitched at both New Zealand families and those visiting from overseas, the book gives tips to parents embarking on road trips, camping trips, campervan holidays and flights to different parts of the country. Including suggestions for hassle-free transportation, where to find the local information centre, public toilets with changing facilities and much more.

Due out in November 2008, just in time for the school holidays.
