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.
