Starting and ending in Auckland, the "Bay Of Islands Explorer" trip is a guided explorer trip that takes 6 days. You will travel through Paihia and Auckland in New Zealand. "Bay Of Islands Explorer" is a group trip which includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

Sub-tropical, unspoilt and fascinating; the picturesque Bay of Islands features 144 islands, incredible natural beauty and a whole lot of history.

For those keen to explore a single region of New Zealand, this is the ideal itinerary. Spend time in Auckland, sampling all the experiences on offer from food and wine tasting to sightseeing on the harbour before heading to the Bay of Islands.
Wander through giant kauri forests and learn about the history of early pioneers in the Northland region. Choose
to cruise around the bay, or visit the first permanent European settlement in New Zealand, the romantic town
of Russell. Finish your journey at Cape Reinga, a sacred place where two oceans meet and where an 800-year-old tree stands waiting to help M-aori spirits begin their final journey home. By the time you return to Auckland you’ll be deeply moved by the splendour, spirituality and hospitality of this magnificent and mythic region.
