Travel from Auckland to Paihia in the Bay of Islands on this half-day sightseeing tour.
Your journey into the 'winterless North' begins as you cross over the iconic Auckland Harbour Bridge. Along the way your driver guide will keep you informed and entertained, pointing out sites of interest as you drive through rolling farmland and lush native forest into the Northland region.
Take a brief morning tea break in Kaiwaka (own expense); your tour continues past Whangarei and through Kawakawa (home of the famous Hundertwasser toilets) before arriving arriving at the seaside town of Paihia. You'll have the rest of your day at leisure to explore the village and relax.

If you are only in Auckland for a short time and want to see a bit of the country outside the city, do this tour. The tour bus driver was so helpful and informative, the bus comfortable, and the tour was really well organised. You had choices of what you wanted to do at Paihia in the Bay of Islands.
