This was my first time joining a small group chartered tour, and it was a great experience. Transportation on the North Island isn't very convenient, and it would be a hassle to rely on public transportation. But the tour can take you directly to various destinations on the island, give you a brief introduction, and then let you explore on your own. It combines the advantages of both group tours and independent travel, which is excellent. The coast is very beautiful, and you must remember to bring your swimsuit to go swimming in the sea. The wild kangaroos and koalas were also unforgettable. Highly recommended!
