Be mesmerised on a journey from Auckland to the Bay of Islands, home to the world’s second bluest sky. After a scenic drive through the Far North District, marvel at Whangarei Waterfalls for a hike and snap photos. Set sail on a 4.5-hour guided cruise through the 144 islands and surrounding bays, seeking out dolphins and spotting the iconic Hole in the Rock (tides permitting). Relax for a short stop on Urupukapuka Island’s pristine beaches and soak in panoramic views before returning to Auckland through Northland’s picturesque roads.
