Take one of New Zealand’s best road trips-the ultimate 3-hour journey of discovery from Auckland to one of the most spectacular parts of New Zealand, the Bay of Islands. Our route offers breathtakingly ever-changing scenery from vast landscapes, rugged mountain ranges and rain forests, clear blue ocean seas, deep gorges and hills and spectacular views of the outstanding natural beauty.

Discover the stunning marine playground and scenic beauty of the region during your 4-hour cruise as you make your way through the pristine islands towards the Cape Brett Peninsula and its historic lighthouse and (conditions permitting) through the majestic Hole in the Rock. Marvel at the bottlenose dolphins and a host of other marine and wildlife en route in the hands of your knowledgeable skipper.

Enjoy a 3-hour inspiring and cultural experience at the birthplace of New Zealand at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. Enjoy an informative tour with your local Maori guide; a high-energy Maori cultural performance; additionally, ample time to explore Waitangi’s heritage buildings, such as the Treaty House (home to the first British resident) and Te Whare Runanga (Carved Meeting House). Watch live demonstrations in the Carving Studio, take photos beside the world’s largest ceremonial war canoe. Visit the Museum of Waitangi which holds a stunning collection of taonga (treasured objects) that bring to life the history of Waitangi and the Treaty of Waitangi, the founding document of New Zealand.

Our amazing tour, travelling in one of our air-conditioned Mercedes-Benz vehicles, takes place over 12 ½ hours with the insight of one of our highly knowledgeable local tour guides. You cannot negate the 3-hours road journey to this part of New Zealand but it truly will be a day to remember.
