Northland, Auckland & Waiheke Tours

Boasting a pretty harbour, coastal islands which are home to wonderful wineries as well as both east and west coast beaches, Auckland really is a beautiful city.  To best enjoy the spectacular “City of Sails” either take to the water or take to the sky to enjoy the Auckland harbour with the postcard perfect Rangitoto volcanic crater and the gorgeous Waiheke island, where pretty vineyards roll down hills to the ocean.

Heading further north you can visit the beautiful Waipoua Forest to meet our native ancestors including Tane Mahuta, the God of the forest, New Zealand’s oldest Kauri tree at around 2000 years old.  Explore the magnificent Hokianga harbour with its giant sand dunes and discover the spectacular Bay of Islands.  The Bay of Islands is a place of turquoise bays with around 150 undeveloped islands dotting the huge bay, providing a haven for whales and dolphins who accompany enjoyers of water sports - whether it be yachting, big-game fishing, kayaking, diving or simply cruising. It's also a place of enormous historical significance. Being the site of New Zealand’s first permanent British settlement at Russell, as well as the place where the Treaty of Waitangi was drawn up and first signed in 1840.
