Cross the Auckland Harbour Bridge, then take in the amazing scenery of the Hibiscus Coast. Walk amongst the Kauri trees at Parry Kauri Park then journey to the Bay of Islands. Enjoy a visit to the Waitangi Treaty Reserve, which has great historical importance, as this is where New Zealand’s founding document, the Treaty of Waitangi, was signed. You will have time to explore the Reserve and take in highlights such as the magnificent Maori War Canoe and meeting house. Tonight enjoy a welcome drink with your Tour Director.
Accommodation: Copthorne Hotel & Resort, Bay of Islands, 2 nights.

Today is free for you to experience the beauty of the Bay of Islands at your own pace – perhaps take a coach trip to Cape Reinga, via idyllic Ninety Mile Beach ; enjoy a guided sea-kayaking trip or a day of sailing. Tonight is at leisure – why not try the delicious cuisine in a local restaurant? (B)
