New Zealand Add-Ons

Bay of Islands TourHarbour Bridge Climb

BAY OF ISLANDS TOUR

Discover the beautiful Bay of Islands. The Far North of New Zealand (aka Northland) is the name give to the land north of Auckland. Expect your own piece of paradise, with a sub-tropical climate, white sandy beaches and forests. This region is famous for world-class diving and water activities, and the New Zealand locals love to holiday up here. This trip is good for those who just have a few days in New Zealand and want to get out of Auckland - and for those doing other trips who want to add on the Far North of NZ. We include a stop off on the way up in summer for you to snorkel in Goat Island Marine Reserve. You also get to reach the very furthest Northern tip - Cape Reinga. Paihia in the Bay of Islands is also a great small town to spend more time in summer and get some sunshine amongst a picture perfect location. NB. The cost of accommodation is not included in your travel pass Itinerary Your adventure kicks off in New Zealand’s largest city Auckland, known by those who live here as the ‘city of sails’ because of its location between the Waitemata and Manukau harbours, making it a boaters and yachters paradise. We depart for the beautiful Bay of Islands from 7.00am, bound for the relaxed seaside town of Paihia often called the ‘gateway to the Bay’. We stop en-route for a chance to snorkel at the Goat Island Marine Reserve, New Zealand’s first marine reserve, before cruising up to Paihia for a relaxing afternoon in the stunning Bay. Hostel along from the beach. Catch the ferry across to historic Russell (New Zealand’s ex-capital), skydiving, Hole in the Rock boat trip, diving.

We’ll stop at Te Paki Stream for a chance to try dune surfing on some of the biggest sand dunes in New Zealand, then head for Cape Reinga the pointy bit at the top of New Zealand. This is the spot that overlooks the meeting place where the Tasman and Pacific Oceans clash and as legend has it, is the departure point for Maori souls leaving New Zealand to go back to their spiritual homeland of Hawaiki. NB. You cannot hop off the bus this day. Hostel along from the beach in Paihia. Traditional Kiwi fish and chips option for dinner! Dune surfing.
