Bay of Islands & Northland Holidays

At the northernmost tip of New Zealand’s North Island lies the rugged and unspoilt Northland region. Home to magnificent kauri forests, vast sand dunes, and rich Maori heritage, Northland holidays offer a captivating mix of history and natural splendour.

Off the north-eastern coast lies the enchanting Bay of Islands, one of New Zealand’s most picturesque landscapes. Boasting spectacular white sand beaches and a stunning coastline, it offers the perfect opportunity to relax in tranquil surroundings or take to the water and explore the area’s many islands on a memorable cruise.

With some of the most breathtaking coastal scenery in all of New Zealand, the Northland region should not be missed. Explore this wonderful destination on a guided group tour from Auckland or ask one of our expert travel consultants to tailormake your own unique itinerary.
