The tour of the bay islands was spectacular. The day started with a view of a beautiful waterfall. Our guide Adil was fantastic. He provided so much history about New Zealand. He was great with directions and setting expectations. He even added some additional stops that were very interesting. He was very thoughtful and had water for us throughout the day. He even surprised us with chips and cookies at the end of the tour. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate with us on the boat tour. However we did see dolphins up close and they followed us for a while.

I did the group tour to the Bay of Islands with Auckland & Beyond a couple weeks ago. Our guide, Adil, was absolutely amazing and really enhanced the experience; He was very professional and friendly, very knowledgeable about the tour and NZ in general, and shared this knowledge along the way.
It was a long drive to the Bay of Islands, but the picturesque scenery and Adil's commentary made it the perfect trip! The van was clean and comfortable, and the others in the group were all great people.
Auckland & Beyond did an amazing job organizing everything and their excellent communication by email before and after the trip made the experience effortless on my part.
I highly recommend this tour, the Bay of Islands cruise is breathtaking! I am glad I chose this company for the tour, and would definitely take one of their other tours next time.
I am eternally grateful to Adil and A&B for this perfect and memorable experience on my first trip to NZ.
