Did this tour on 10/8 with Guide Nancy and Steve with Auckland and Beyond Tours. I’ve done tours all over the world and this was hands down the best. Nancy and Steve treated us like family and made an outstanding day for us. True assets for this company !!!

Beautiful scenic drive to Bay of Islands and then amazing four hour cruise on boat to South Pacific Ocean to see Hole in the Rock. Stop over on Otehei Bay which was stunning. Our driver Jon was very accomplished driver and also friendly and polite. Overall great trip.

I have booked more tours with viator than I can count and this was the BEST. Nancy was an amazing guide for our group. She kept us laughing all day while showing us some of New Zealand's most breathtaking scenery. There were plenty of times for restroom breaks and to get snacks if we were hungry. She knew an incredible amount about local history and culture which made the day even more amazing.
