The Kiwi Classic

Time to greet the day and begin your adventure! Depart vibrant Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland) in the early morning and make your way north toward picturesque Paihia. On the way, enjoy a breakfast stop in Warkworth before heading to Whangārei Falls, where nature’s beauty puts on a show. By midday, you'll arrive in the Bay of Islands, a subtropical gem brimming with history and natural splendour. This breathtaking region features 144 stunning islands, pristine beaches, and a legacy woven deep into Aotearoa’s past. Be sure to visit Waitangi, the legendary site where the nation’s story began. If you are more of a water lover, the options for adventure are endless. Set off on a cruise to the iconic Hole in the Rock and uncover secret coves and island hideaways. Keep a lookout for the marine life dancing beneath the waves. Prefer a more hands-on thrill? Try your hand at sailing, fishing, diving, or parasailing. Or just kick back, dig your toes into golden sands, and soak up the serenity.
