Discover the best of the Bay of Islands on this private 5–6-hour shore tour combining local history, scenic countryside, and a premium wine-tasting experience. Your personal driver-guide will take you from Paihia Cruise Port through rolling farmland to Kerikeri, one of New Zealand’s most culturally significant settlements. Enjoy a relaxed day exploring historic landmarks, charming riverside scenery, and a hosted tasting of award-winning wines at Marsden Estate. This tour offers an ideal mix of culture, flavour, and natural beauty for cruise visitors seeking an elegant yet comfortable experience.

Spend the day cruising the clear blue waters of the Bay of Islands, hopping from beach to beach – or spend it snorkelling around local reefs and shipwrecks – or spend it hiking through the pristine native bush on a handful of the Bay’s 140-plus islands. On this private charter in the Bay of Islands, do what you to do. Instead of sticking to a tour operator’s preset schedule, tailor your half- or full-day itinerary in the Bay to your own tastes.

Jump aboard a catamaran at Paihia Beach and get ready to set sail to the scenic Motuarohia Island to see the twin lagoons. After a beach picnic, go on an adventure around the lagoons, visit the historic pa site, or climb up to the peak for panoramic views of the Bay of Islands. Cool off by taking a dip in the bay before a leisurely cruise back to Paihia.
