Day 1
Depart Auckland for the Bay of IslandsBegin your short and sweet New Zealand island adventure travelling north from Auckland over the Harbour Bridge continuing through Northland's lush farmland of green and blue hills before arriving in the beautiful Bay of Islands, 144 islands dotting the bay with golden beaches. On arrival you’ll start the trip discovering the stories, people, and events that shaped Aotearoa New Zealand at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. You'll be enlightened by a Local Specialist, who will bring to life the world's largest ceremonial war canoe, the ‘whaka,’ the historic Treaty House, and carved Meeting House. Stand where the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840 and visit the Carving Studio to meet the carvers and learn about the Māori art of whakairo (wood carving). Then there's time to explore Te Kōngahu Museum of Waitangi, a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience through stewardship of the Waitangi National Trust. Whether you’re from near or far, this in-depth experience will give an appreciation for the stories that have shaped New Zealand at the very spot it was founded. Stay overnight in the jewel of the Bay of Islands, renowned for its secluded bays, warm weather, and buzzing café culture. This evening, get to know your Travel Director and group over dinner, where seafood plucked straight from the ocean is the star of the show, washed down with delicious New Zealand wine.Accommodation: Copthorne Resort

Day 3
Bay of Islands is All YoursToday is all about exploring the enchanting beauty of the Bay of Islands from its signature golden sands, water, and vibrant green hillsides and there are plenty of options to show off all its angles. You could choose an Optional Hole in the Rock boat ride to Cape Brett to see New Zealand's largest sea cave. Cruising through the turquoise waters passing beaches and secluded bays, keep your eyes peeled for dolphins, seals, and penguins in this pristine tropical setting. After yesterday’s cultural immersion, you could take it even further with a Russell Mini Tour to learn about the area's historical significance. Take a walk back in time to discover its wild ways as a port town with evidence of its colourful heritage in the historic buildings. After an action-packed day, head to one of the restaurants along the waterfront and raise a glass while watching the sun set on another glorious day in 'The Bay’.Accommodation: Copthorne Resort

Best trip ever. Tour Director was one of the best. Have an outstanding advey
Our guide, Danilo, was very organized, passionate, and charismatic.
Awesome trip no complications. Roderick degroot td was fabulous!
This was our first trip with Trafalgar. It was a great trip and Trafalgar really took care of us. The Tour Director and Motor Coach driver were excellent.
Great tour director and driver. Not all cabins have air conditioning and tv (weather was very hot and humid)
Trafalgar did not dissapoint. Our TD Christin went above and beyond.
Our vacation trip to Egypt was very enjoyable. Learned about the history, culture and visited museums, ancient mosques, temples. The 7 day cruise was excellent; staff was great and friendly, food is good, and our travel tour guide Mohammed TAHA was very good, friendly, knowledgeable. He took us for coffee breaks outside the cities in our extra time to explore .
We had a great time with Trafalgar's Best of Greece trip. Would definitely recommend it!
This was really a good tour. Mount Pilatus was amazing. Venice was the highlight of the trip. Words cannot describe Venice
The tour director was great, with such a big group of 52 persons; She did wonderful job!!! The driver was also very professional. Total experience was very good.
2 of our accommodations were not twin beds as requested. We would definitely book again another tour if Palbo was the guide He was fantastic and really tried to accommodate us to the fullest.
Generally fast paced. Optional tours were worth signing up for. I saw a lot of Italy and had a lovely time especially in the medieval towns. Excellent tour director and coach driver who were passionate, cared deeply and made the journey a very safe and pleasant experience for the guests. Specialist tour guides were good and travelling companions were wonderful. I had a great time on this tour and could not have asked for more.
We have been on 7 Trafalgar tours and this one ranks right at the top. By far the longest and most adventurous. Nellie Sullivan was one of the best tour directors we’ve ever had. She went beyond what most TDs have done. Our optional excursions in Australia and New Zealand were phenomenal. Definitely a trip to remember.
4th Trafalgar Tour was the best yet. Our tour director Pedro Pinto was excellent. We saw both must see and seldom seen places. Truly best of Portugal. As a treat, our director got us representative sweets from each region as well as picking restaurants featuring local specialties.
