Overview

This full-day tour begins with a pick-up from your Auckland City hotel, followed by a scenic three-hour drive north through the beautiful landscapes of the Far North District.

Arriving in Paihia, embark on a 4 anf half hours guided catamaran cruise to explore the vibrant marine life, including dolphins, and to visit the renowned Hole in the Rock formation. Glide through the sparkling bays and weave between the 144 islands that make this area so unique.

Enjoy a stopover on Urupukapuka Island, where you can unwind on the beach, have a picnic, or hike to the island’s summit for breathtaking 360° views of the Bay of Islands. As the cruise continues, you’ll approach the famous Hole in the Rock on Motukokako Island, sailing to the tip of Cape Brett Peninsula.

After you return from your cruise, we head back to Auckland CBD through the scenic roads of Northland.
