Activity itinerary

Auckland (Pass by)

Your tour starts in New Zealand’s largest city. As we drive out of the city over the iconic Harbour Bridge, your guide will set the scene for your adventure today.

The Kauri Museum

1h 30m
Admission ticket included

Exiting Auckland, we travel west and follow the road through the kumara capital of New Zealand. Our first stop sees us visiting the Kauri Museum, to understand the remarkable storey of New Zealand's largest and most famous native tree. Celebrating everything to do with kauri and the people of the north, we discover how kauri have supported lives and livelihoods for centuries. Despite their immense size and strength however, these giants are also fragile, so you may even take the opportunity to help in the survival of this mighty taonga (treasure).

Waipoua Forest

Continuing north the beautiful scenery does not stop and our guide will entertain you with interesting information and stories of the area before we enter the majestic Waipoua forest. As the drive swoops and turns, embraced by New Zealand's famous ancient forest, we are finally rewarded by the presence of Tane Mahuta, the Lord of the Forest.

Opononi

Enjoy a lunch break in the beachside settlement of Opononi with view over the Hokianga Harbour.

Waitangi Treaty Grounds

2h
Admission ticket included

After enjoying free time for lunch on the beautiful Hokianga Harbour we journey further north towards the 'birthplace of our nation', Waitangi, where we will be treated to a fully guided tour and cultural performance at Aotearoa New Zealand's most important historic site
