Description

Climb aboard your deluxe air-conditioned coach in central Auckland and wave goodbye to the city for the day as you travel north into rural New Zealand. Watch as rolling hills give way to the subtropical bush and listen to informative commentary from your driver en route to Paihia. Upon arrival in Paihia, enjoy free time to peruse the small shops and boutiques of this quaint seaside village.  After exploring Paihia, board your deluxe catamaran and glide out towards the open ocean, past some 144 islands that make up the Bay of Islands. Glimpse at secluded islands and pristine beaches and keep watch for dolphins and whales, as you head towards the remote Cape Brett Peninsula. See the famous lighthouse perched on the headland and the famed Hole in the Rock at Motukokako Island. Marvel as your skipper expertly guides your boat through the tight space (weather and ocean conditions permitting) before heading back into the sheltered waters of the bay. Upon arrival back in Paihia, board your deluxe coach once again for the return journey to Auckland.
