一个人去, 选这个3 day tour, 如何?
我觉得不错, 可以到新西兰的最北点,还经过美丽的90miles beach. 即体验了毛利文化,风土人情,又有不错的自然风景.
放弃泡温泉的rototua,适合有伴的去.
Tour Itinerary
Day 1: AUCKLAND - BAY OF ISLANDS
After crossing the Harbour Bridge we head north to the Bay of Islands. With Auckland well behind us, a brief stop will be made at Sheep World giving you a chance to learn more about New Zealand’s most famous livestock. Back on the road to Northland, we pass through Whangarei and arrive into Paihia at lunchtime, where we overnight. Our first stop here is Waitangi, for a panoramic look over the beautiful Bay of Islands. We strongly recommend those interested in the Maori culture and the history of New Zealand to visit Waitangi Treaty Grounds, the birthplace of our nation. Your afternoon is free so why not try one of the fabulous boating options, such as paddling a 50ft traditional Maori waka (canoe), or take a cruise out to the Hole in the Rock with the chance to swim with the dolphins. If you have no plans for the evening, check out the recommended Culture North night show.

Approximate arrival time into Paihia is 12.30pm.

Day 2: CAPE REINGA DAY TRIP

This Connection travels as far north as you can go. The scenic drive travels through land rich in Maori culture and history to the top of New Zealand, Cape Reinga. Here you will absorb the stunning view of the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean meeting. After stopping for lunch at a quiet beach nearby, we travel up Te Paki stream until we reach giant sand dunes, perfect for sliding down on body boards that are provided. The special design of our coach allows us to actually drive along a section of the famous 90-Mile beach before rejoining the road. On the way back we stop at the picturesque fishing village of Mangonui, famous for its fish and chips, and then head back to Paihia.

Approximate arrival time into Paihia is 6.45pm.

Day 3: BAY OF ISLANDS - AUCKLAND

This is one of Magic’s most unique days. We travel from Paihia across country stopping at Rawene, where you have the option to be transferred to Motuti Marae for a truly authentic cultural experience. The coach continues on to Opononi, a lovely town on the edges of the Hokianga Harbour facing the impressive Hokianga sand dunes. It is also where the ‘Crossings Hokianga’ cultural cruise departs, an amazing journey that follows in the footsteps of NZ’s first discoverer Kupe. Magic strongly recommends you overnight in Opononi to take advantage of the celebrated ‘Footprints Waipoua’, one of 82 Lonely Planet ‘Experiences of a Lifetime’. Just after lunch, we head on to Waipoua Forest, where you will not only get the chance to stretch your legs but also get up-close to ‘Tane Mahuta’, God of the Forest. The road narrows as it twists and turns through the forest and we travel into the afternoon and on down the West Coast via Dargaville. Our final stop is at the Matakohe Kauri and Pioneer Museum, which details how the native Kauri trees played a significant role toward shaping the new nation. The remainder of the journey is relaxed and will bring you back into Auckland by late afternoon.
