Waitangi and cape Reinga were both nice but not worth the 5 hr bus ride. Especially on a public bus that made about 10 stops they should have informed us about that.

There is complete invisible hand at working. We have to go at various place markout on our own. If we would have been aware of this tour plan, we would have done everything on our own online. It would have been more cost effective.
Otherwise, yes Intercity double decker bus gives more better view, than tourist bus. Location are all good, whether you plan individually and go, because various tour operator are different.

The trip was very well organised everyone was so helpful.
Waitangi Treaty centre was so interesting such big part New Zealand history
The boat trip around Bay of Island so beautiful as dolphins followed the boat .
The bus trip was a long way to see a lighthouse but helped by the great commentary by the bus driver about the countryside and New Zealand life

Pavia was beautiful. Geat hotel. Cape Regina was interesting and 90 miles beach and sandboarding was fun.

Cape Reinga was the best, followed by the cultural tour and the Bay boat tour.
What disappointed us was using the public transportation for the trip to Paihia. Maybe if we had known that the bus was not a private coach we would have been more accepting of this method of travel. We were not sure of the correct bus to board or exactly where we were to get off, so many stops without knowing what was going on.

Whistlestop visit to the North, our highlights: the Bay of Island Boat tour and the drive on the Ninety Mile beach. Also the robot waiter at the local Thai restaurant! It's not a group tour per se. Quite a lot of coach travelling from Auckland and the Cape Reinga day.

Fabulous trip especially if you have limited time in the Bay of islands. Hike in the rock and 90 mile beach real fun.

Missing the Hole in the Rock and standing in the rain at the Cape. Because our schedule changed we encountered weather that limited our options. If the original schedule had applied we would have seen everything we booked for. When we booked we did not know we would be taking a city bus to and from Auckland. We were expecting a tour bus. I would recommend anyone to make their own way to Bay of Islands and book their tours when they arrive.

If I could recommend any tour this is the one! If I could give it more than five stars I would! Amazing from start to finish! Everyone was friendly and helpful. The sights were unforgettable. Really felt immersed in the Māori culture! I would go again in heartbeat!

Tanya is an outstanding tour guide/bus driver. We enjoyed all of our experiences.
From riding the tour bus on the beach, looking for beautiful sea shells, walking out to Cape Reinga, viewing the coast and sliding down the sand dunes.
We also really enjoyed the culture Waitangi tour and walking the entire property. Also - great gifts in the gifts shop.
Bay of Islands- great boat cruise!! We saw tons of dolphins on route and a few near the hole in the rock. Really enjoyed the short hikes on Otehei Bay.
