Description

Discover the beautiful Bay of Islands with a Private tour from Auckland and back.
Explore the beautiful beaches and historic sites of the Bay of Islands on Private tour. Visit the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, Russell, Long Beach, Okiato Point, and Haruru Falls.

Start in Paihia and spend some time at the beautiful Paihia Beach, a popular spot for swimming, relaxing, and enjoying the view of the islands. Walk along the Waitangi Wharf, which offers scenic views of the harbor and a good place to watch boats and take photographs.

While the Treaty Grounds itself has an entry fee, you can explore the surrounding area and the nearby walking tracks for free. The walk along the waterfront offers stunning views of the bay.

.Once in Russell, enjoy the small-town atmosphere, and explore the historic sites such as the Old Church and the Russell wharf. From Russell, take a short walk to Long Beach, a quiet, peaceful spot perfect for a swim or a relaxing picnic by the sea.

Next head to Okiato Point for a short, peaceful walk. This area is not only scenic but also rich in history, as it was the first capital of New Zealand before Russell. Enjoy the coastal views, and perhaps spot dolphins or local wildlife along the way.

Visit Haruru Falls, located about 10 minutes from Paihia. It's a beautiful and accessible waterfall. The walk from the parking area to the falls is easy, and the area is perfect for a picnic or simply relaxing by the water.
