About This Tour
Our full-day private tour offers a personal and flexible way to discover the Bay of Islands. Departing from Auckland, enjoy a scenic drive through Northland’s rolling hills before arriving in Paihia, where your journey begins. Step aboard a purpose-built catamaran for a 4.5-hour cruise designed for comfort and wildlife encounters. Look out for dolphins and other marine wildlife as you explore secluded coves, sandy beaches, and the islands that make this region special. You’ll also visit the iconic Hole in the Rock and Cape Brett cliffs, conditions permitting, guided by local skippers who bring you close to the action. Your experience includes an unhurried stop at Urupukapuka Island, with time to relax on the beach, enjoy a picnic, or hike to panoramic viewpoints. To finish, return to Auckland along scenic backroads, taking in more of the Far North’s beauty. More than a tour, this is a relaxed private journey designed around you.
