Sector TA17IN: AUCKLAND - PAIHIA
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. Your free tour injection is a visit to the Waitangi Treaty Ground, the birthplace of our nation. This afternoon is free so why not try one of the fabulous boat cruises out to the famous 'Hole in the Rock'. (If you have been to Waitangi and wish to see the 'Hole in the Rock' then you can book onto the Mack Attack fast boat. Approximate arrival time into Paihia is 12.30pm.
Sector TA19: CAPE REINGA
Travel as far north as you can go. This 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 (it’s not 90 miles either!) 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
Sector TA18: PAIHIA - 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 join a two hour cultural cruise on the beautiful and sacred Hokianga Harbour, learning about myths, legends and the first settlers in New Zealand. 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’ cruise returns before midday and an ideal spot for lunch. 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 as we travel into the afternoon and on down the West Coast via Dargaville. Our final stop is at the Matakohe Kauri and Pioneer Museum (admission not included), which details how the native Kauri 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.
Approximate arrival time into Auckland is 5pm
