Private Tour Of Bay Of Islands New Zealand
Expert Tips

“Book a ‘tramping’ tour of Stewart Island and spend two nights in the beautiful New Zealand countryside. The Rakiua Track is a must. It takes three days to trek and is one of New Zealand’s most famous. Experience the bush and enjoy lots of bird sightings – you might even see the rakiua kiwi.”

“New Zealand’s abundant oyster season runs from April to August. We highly recommend timing your visit to coincide with the Bluff Oyster Festival, which is held in May each year. You can try raw oysters raw, Kilpatrick oysters, enjoy oysters in pies or even deep-fried in batter.”
