Tour the Bay of Islands on a full-day trip from Auckland. You’ll see spectacular rural and coastal scenery en route, visit historic Waitangi, cruise from Paihia and have free time to enjoy the cafes, museums and shops of Russell, New Zealand’s early capital.
Your day trip starts with a scenic drive from Auckland to visit the Waitangi Treaty House and grounds, and see a traditional Maori meeting house and a huge waka (war canoe). Next you’ll board the Bay Belle ferry to cruise from Paihia to historic Russell, a lovely town that retains the charm of its early whaling port days.
At Russell, you’ll join a fascinating mini-tour of the area with a local guide. After the tour you’ll have free time to wander and enjoy the cafes, museums and craft shops along the waterfront. You’ll also have free time to explore the arcades and shops in Paihia before reboarding your coach back to Auckland.
