The Bay of Islands is the finest Maritime Park in New Zealand with 144 islands, secluded bays and an abundance of marine life. It is the cradle of European civilization in New Zealand and has fine examples of Maori culture for you to experience. The towns of Paihia and picturesque Russell are perfect places to wander amongst the many shops and restaurants along the waterfront. This two day tour is a great way to sample just some of the highlights of the beautiful Bay of Islands. Choose between a variety of accommodation levels, including the option to 'meet the locals' at a homestay property. You also have the choice of cruise around the Bay of Islands on Day 2, from a dolphin swimming excursion to the famous Cape Brett 'Hole in the Rock' cruise. |
