Salt Air helicopter tours - Bay of Islands

Enjoy 15% off Bay of Islands and Cape Reinga helicopter tours 

 

You’ve explored Northland's stunning coastline by road, but to truly understand its scale and soul, you need to see it from the sky. Lift off on a helicopter scenic flight from Paihia’s waterfront over the Bay of Islands, soaring above turquoise waters and the iconic Hole in the Rock. Or, depart from Kerikeri Airport on a half-day fixed-wing tour to Cape Reinga, where the Tasman Sea meets the Pacific Ocean in a dramatic clash of colour and energy. Discover more about the region’s rich culture and history as your pilot shares stories that bring context to the spectacular views. It’s an unforgettable experience, brought to life from the best seat in the house.

Last time I visited Te Puia, my daughter was particularly interested in the Āhua Gallery. One of their staff members gave my daughters and me an amazing tour, sharing his deep knowledge of Māori culture and the history of each piece. We also explored the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute, which is included along with the Āhua Gallery in the Te Rā Guided Experience. It was very inspiring and memorable.”

We did a privaly-owned glowworm cave tour — Spellbound. We were picked up, driven across private land to a smaller cave with an inflatable boat with only about ten people onboard.

We were given a cup of tea and a biscuit afterwards, before being bussed back.

It was a more personalised experience with the history of the local region from someone whose family grew up there.

Maunga Hikurangi Tours - East Coast

 

Enjoy 10% off 2-person tours and 20% off 3-person tours

 

Some places on the North Island’s East Cape are so sacred that access is a rare privilege. Maunga Hikurangi is one such place. As the first point on mainland New Zealand to see the sunrise, its spiritual significance to the Ngāti Porou people is profound. We recommend taking an exclusive journey with the local guides who are the mountain's official guardians. They hold the unique permission to drive you up its slopes, sharing their ancestral stories of Maui along the way. You’ll stand in the quiet presence of nine monolithic whakairo, each one a powerful testament to their heritage. To be here is to witness a deep connection between a people, their legends and their land, in a place most will only ever see from a distance.
