Private Bay of Islands Highlights

New Zealand's Bay of Islands is a subtropical micro-region of almost 150 islands that also happens to be the birthplace of the nation. With this personalized tour you will be able to see this unique place on your terms and at your own pace.

Admire the natural beauty of the region through its lush forests, breathtaking coastlines and waterfalls including Haruru Falls in Paihia and the stunning Rainbow Falls on the outskirts of Kerikeri. At Haruru Falls, just around the corner from Paihia, witness a beautiful waterfall. Haruru means "big noise" and the waterfalls in a horseshoe shape, very rare and quite spectacular. At Rainbow Falls the third platform is at the head of a historic weir that supplied the first electrical power to the early Kerikeri township.

Take some time at the Stone Store and Kemp House, two of the country's oldest surviving buildings, as well as the wooden St. James Anglican Church overlooking them. The historic Church of St. James has profoundly inspirational views from the altar window; mountains, bush, river and, at times, the glacier, it is well worth a visit.

Throughout your tour you can learn about the area's people and culture a myriad of ways; through its fascinating history, delicious food and award-winning wines! This enjoyable half-day tour sells out fast, book now for a memorable day in the stunning Bay of Islands.
