The beautiful Bay of
Islands is the "Birthplace of the Nation", where the signing of the Treaty

early history, the Bay of Islands is host to much marine wildlife, with
activities for the adventurous and the not so adventurous.
Day l - AUCKLAND / BAY OF ISLANDS
Travel north from Auckland along the
beautiful Hibiscus Coast to the Bay of Islands. The afternoon is at leisure
to enjoy the many activities of the area that was the stage for much of New
Zealand's early history. This included settlement by Polynesian adventurers,
discovery by Captain Cook, the unruly whaling era and then the signing of
the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840 which cemented European and Maori into
nationhood.
Day 2 - PAIHIA / CAPE REINGA / PAIHIA
From
Paihia enjoy the historical and scenic journey to Cape Reinga. Drive along

spectacular views of the two oceans -Pacific Ocean & Tasman Sea meet. Lunch
is included.
