We pick up customers from the Waitangi Wharf and return them there. This is the place where the Cruise Ship Tenders take the passengers to and at the end of the tour we drop clients here for the return passage to the ship.

The first stop on this tour takes us to the breath-taking Rainbow Falls. There are three stunning viewing platforms are at the top of the Rainbow Falls, all of which offer great photo opportunities.

Our next stop is the Makana Chocolate Factory to sample their hand made chocolates and time to visit the adjacent Kauri Workshop which has crafts and collectibles for sale.

We then move on to the Kerikeri Mission Station which was established in 1819. There are two significant buildings, “The Stone Store” built in 1832, originally used as a Missionary Society warehouse and the adjacent “Kemp House”, New Zealand’s oldest building completed in 1821/22 by missionary carpenters and Maori sawyers.

While we are at Mission Station, we will visit the historic Plough & Feather pub, where clients will have lunch along with a glass of locally made beer or wine (all included in the price).

Our last stop is the Waitangi Look out. Here customers can take photos of their ship and Russell.
