What is the best off-roading trail around New Zealand's North Island?

I just got a new Nissan Navara and I want to push it to its limits. I've heard there are some amazing off-roading trails around the North Island, but I'm not sure which one to tackle first. Any recommendations?

You're in luck! I've been exploring the North Island for years and there are definitely some amazing off-roading trails to check out.

My personal favorite is the Forgotten World Highway. It's a bit challenging, but the views are well worth it.

If you're looking for something less intense, the Pureora Timber Trail is a great option. It's a bit easier but still offers beautiful scenery and a fun ride.
