Join a small group day tour from Auckland and journey north to the stunning Bay of Islands, one of New Zealand’s most loved coastal regions. As you travel, enjoy engaging commentary while crossing the Auckland Harbour Bridge and passing through rolling farmland, charming towns, and lush subtropical landscapes. The scenic drive sets the tone for a relaxed and informative day, offering plenty of opportunities to appreciate the natural beauty of the North Island on the way to the coast.
Once in the Bay of Islands, step aboard a scenic cruise to explore the sparkling waters and over 144 picturesque islands scattered across the bay. Sail close to the dramatic cliffs of Cape Brett and pass through the famous Hole in the Rock, a true highlight of the region. Keep an eye out for dolphins, whales, and other marine wildlife as you cruise. Enjoy a generous island stop where you can swim, relax, take a coastal walk, or enjoy a meal, creating a memorable day filled with nature, adventure, and seaside charm.
