This 4-day tour will take you from the Bay of Islands on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island to the Hokianga harbor on the west coast. The Bay of Islands, known now for its good sailing, has a rich history. Named by Captain Cook, it was home of the first European early settlers, and the historic towns dotted along its coast contain the oldest wooden and stone structures in the country. Horeke, on the beautiful Hokianga harbor, is home to New Zealand's oldest hotel. Much of the tour follows the disused Bay of Island's vintage railway.
