Overview

Step into the birthplace of modern New Zealand on this full-day group tour to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds - where history, culture, and nature unite in a powerful and memorable experience.

It begins with a pickup from the 4 hotels listed in Auckland CBD, then a drive north through rolling countryside, past native bush and charming towns, toward the stunning Bay of Islands. Upon arrival, enjoy a guided tour of New Zealand’s most significant historic site, where the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840. Explore Te Kōngahu Museum, with its moving stories and interactive Treaty exhibits, and visit Te Rau Aroha Museum, which honours the military service and sacrifice of Māori.

A traditional Māori cultural performance brings the experience to life through haka, song, and storytelling. You will also see Ngā Toki Matawhaorua, the world’s largest ceremonial waka.

After this enriching journey into Aotearoa’s heritage, return to Auckland CBD with lasting insight into New Zealand’s identity.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
