I need full trip package for 10 days north island

For the North Island, our best itinerary would be the New Zealand Northern Trail - and we have two options of either doing the route Northbound or Southbound. Both routes are 10 days.

Could you please advise if you can accommodate a single supplement room on the tour for this traveller, and kindly provide a quote for this option.

I would like to book this trip with the private room supplement. What is the difference in price?

Can I add the single supplement later, should I decide to book a shared space initially?

A private room supplement (with shared bathroom facilities) is available if you'd prefer not to share a room on this trip. If you are a single traveller this will give you a single room, if you are travelling as a couple a double room will be allocated to you. The private room supplement excludes Day 5 (Murupara) where you will be in shared accommodation. The private room supplement is subject to availability.

Share the detail itinerary for the tour along with inclusions and exclusions. Specify whether breakfast is included on all days. Are entrance fees included?

Included Meals: 9 breakfasts, 1 dinner. Breakfast will not be included on Day 1 & Day 7 in Taupo. Included Activities include Coromandel Peninsula - Hot Water Beach, Rotorua - Hobbiton Movie Set Tour, Cathedral Cove, Murupara - Hangi Dinner, Pohutu Geyser, Te Puia Maori Village, Learn to Weave Flax, Learn the Haka, Village Tour. Accommodations are multi-share hostel with shared facilities for 10 nights. Transport includes Private Vehicle and Ferry.

interested in the tour and would like to know if there will be upcoming changes in the price for this adventure

We're unable to guarantee any future price changes, as tour prices can vary based on availability and demand. Once you make a booking, your spot will be secured at the current price, and we won't be able to apply any future discounts or adjustments. We are pleased to offer a complimentary hold on the trip for 48 hours, after which a deposit of 800 is required to confirm your space.

Will that be in Hotels? How many people per room?

Is there a way to split the cost up between each traveler and set up different payment plans for each? Or would it be one person paying the total?

I would like to ask if that I prefer to have my own room for this tour, is this possible?

A single supplement (with shared bathroom facilities) is available at an additional cost of $1,310, if you prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement excludes Day 5 (Murupara) where you will be in shared accommodation and is subject to availability.

It was for me the first time in New Zealand and as wheelchair use it was a challenge but really worth it and the things we did as a tourgroup and what we saw as the beautiful nature was stunning and amazing. I really enjoy every minute of the twenty days i have been in New Zealand.Show more

Thank you for sharing your review. We're delighted to hear that your first trip to New Zealand was such a memorable experience. While travelling as a wheelchair user brought some challenges, it's wonderful to know the stunning scenery and group experiences made it all worthwhile. We're so pleased you enjoyed your 20 days in New Zealand and hope to welcome you on another adventure soon.

Had high hopes & excitement for this experience with Haka however it turned into a bad one. Tried to discuss some things with my guide & the office ops manager thinking I would get a little bit of concern .. no customer service & care .. but no! anyway I would not recommend you book with them. To explain more some of the things that annoyed me & made me regret my booking are: The Itinerary is not inline with the trip! The Cultural aspect (including guides) is now lost with this company! (having sold themselves to Intrepid) The cost of these trips include very little. eg: only breakfast is included not at least a dinner or 2! and the whole tour is primarily focused on just extra paid activities, so factor all this in on top of daily food, drinks, flights, insurance etc. ‘lodge stay?’ some… then 2 star backpackers! Private room upgrade yes .. for a huge extra cost & with no en-suite. I could add more but instead I recommend you booking with someone else!Show more

this tour was just a huge disappointment, this is overpriced, unorganized and leaves you sorry for all the money you spent. of course the sights you will see are amazing, but the tour itself just makes you sad. the guide had absolutely no plan at anytime what was going on, due to this lack of organization, it was always quite hectic rushing from one place to the next. also I made bookings for activities back when I booked the tour itself months in advance, just to realize once I was at the activity it was not prebooked. here it’s advertised as 18-39, which was actually not true, more like an average of 45+. the hostels are not high-end, they are just normal average youth hostels. I did reach out to them on the second day, explaining the circumstances, but sadly did not receive a very constructive answer and no resulting action. honestly, I‘m just mad.Show more

Brilliant company with a very personal approach to guiding, effectively becoming one of the group most of the time. The small group size and mostly solo travellers means that a group of strangers leave as close friends after the trip. It clear that Haka have great values, with bolt on activities sometimes costing less than the walk in price and with their support and appreciation of the Mauri community. Highly recommended, just wish I had booked to stay longer. Thanks Kenna and Haka Tours.Show more
