Very cool to get up and close to the Haruru Falls. Enjoyed the kayaking and Dan was informative and welcoming. Thanks for a great trip.

We have rent 2 single kayaks for 4 hours and went to the waterfall. On our way back it was high tide, so we explored mangroves. Fantastic! Because we still have plenty of time, we wanted to go and explore some islands, but rain came and we got cold. Next time! :-) Thank you Coastal Kayakers!

We had a great experience with these guys. Super friendly and gave us lots of info and other places to go and visit too.

Taylor and Kate are awesome host and we learnt a lot about local birds and Kayaking and stand up paddling techniques.

I lived that tour. My partner and I had so much fun kayaking and the guide, Ben, was super patient and fun. Would do it again.

What a highlight of our trip. We were lucky enough to have a small group on our booking. The guys were so informative and friendly. Their local knowledge and enthusiasm was infectious. Well done, keep up the good work, will see you again. p.s take the photo package, they captured our experience perfectly.

We had a fantastic evening kayaking and bird watching. Dan and Ace were great guides and their enthusiasm was contagious. Highlight was kayaking under the waterfall and even climbing in under to experience all the power of the water!

Thanks Ruby and Dan for an amazing kayaking afternoon. We travelled from Queenstown and was nice to feel the summer! They gave us a lot of advises to do the following days.

What a great afternoon out. My teenagers loved it too! The guides where extremely friendly and patient. The river and waterfall and bird life were stunning! Great afternoon out, and I believe the last tour at night is even better!

Awesome afternoon with Dan and Ace from Bay of Islands Waterfall + kayak/paddle board! Guides were relaxed, well informed and made kayaking a breeze! The kayak under the Haruru waterfall is the new favourite NZ must do moment! Great way to spend an afternoon in Paihia!

The highlight of our trip so far. Very friendly and fun staff . The whole trip was amazing fun for both me and my teenage children. Loved it and would def recommend to anyone !

Nice and friendly staff, good and safe kayaks, wonderful place. Totally recommended

We really enjoyed our paddle out to Haruru falls. The kids had a neat time. The guides were very friendly and funny & great with the kids. Was an awesome experience. Definitely worth doing. The waters are lovely & calm as you are not near any waves.

Lizzy communicated with us due to the weather. Lizzy and Amy were friendly and understanding. We are novice riders and the ride was amazing, with great views of the Bay. The horses were paired to our experience and behaved extremely well. We thoroughly enjoyed our virgin ride. Even might have another go another time.

Was a great family experience. Staff very friendly and helpful. My son was a bit nervous, but staff was there to put his mind at ease, and he ended up enjoying himself. Would definitely recommend.

We had an amazing time here on the 09/06. Emma picked us up from Paihia and was super friendly. She explained everything and made us feel confident even if we were just beginners. The views were amazing, and we enjoyed riding on Moana and Ace. Thanks for the lovely experience.

Enjoyed this experience where we had everyone from complete novice riders to experienced ones in the group. Our host catered to all needs and went out of her way to ensure everyone enjoyed themselves and stayed safe. The time went quickly with a variety of views - roadside, sea and bush riding. The horses were reasonably well behaved, and of course the swim was lots of fun. Thanks!

Im really glad we booked the tour, got more information and insight about the treaty and the grounds and the surrounding plants. I think if we didn’t book with the tour we would’nt have a clue and much more knowledge of the surroundings. The marae/ powhiri and maori entertainment was fantastic. Such talented individuals. Definitely worth doing. Vinaka vaka levu, Sereana Bebenisala.

A fantastic experience that is a must do. The guided tour was extremely informative. There is so much to do here. The Waitangi house has recently been refurbished and the museum is also new. We spent hours here leaning about the wonderful Maori culture.

Found my visit to the treaty grounds really interesting. It's worth paying the extra for a guided tour, I don't know where I'd have begun otherwise. The cultural performance was also excellent. The grounds are really pretty with excellent views of the Bay.

The tour was informative & the cultural performance was good. My toddlers actually sat through it which was a bonus. Museum was excellent and I would have spent hours there if I didn’t have little kids in tow. The staff couldn’t find my booking but sorted it out with no dramas and one of the ladies was really helpful when we were a few minutes late for the tour. They’ve definitely poured some $$ into this place.

Had an excellent experience. Would recommend looking around the museum prior to the guided tour as it makes more sense that way. Cultural experience was fantastic and we got to take pics with the performers afterwards.

Was really great experience highly recommend to anyone!

As an overseas visitor the Treaty Grounds gave me valuable knowledge and understanding about NZ and it’s people.

This is a must see activity for both locals and overseas visitors. You need to devote a day to take full advantage of the tour, cultural activity, museum visit, Treay House & Meeting House visits and wood carving workshop as well as to just enjoy the gardens and surrounds. It is an extra special deal with bookme.co.nz. Fantastic value!

Joey our guide was excellent in the way he told us all about Waitangi - the treaty, the war canoe, the Treaty house and The Flagstaff. We also liked the way he referred to us Aussies as friends and Allies. We really enjoyed the cultural performance especially the way everything they did was explained to us. The museum was well laid out and interesting - we could’ve spent a long time there. The whole experience was well worth our entry fee.

An amazing resource! Be sure to leave plenty of time to explore the museum upstairs, main exhibit, the historic buildings, the wakas, and the delicious restaurant.

I spent a good time into the Treaty of Whitiangi, really interesting guide and history, I particulary enjoyed the show of the maoris! And beautiful view of the Bay of Island ! I recommended !

If you come to the Bay of Islands visiting the Treaty grounds at Waitangi are a MUST! Ive been numerous times and every time I see something different, I learn a bit more each time and have the best day. Our guide John was amazing so informative and had all of our attention the whole time. We finished our day with the cultural experience listening, watching and learning about waiata, poi and taiaha. See you all again soon!

I really enjoyed the day, amazing guide tours and maori experience. Real history, so much to learn about. Thanks for the deal. ?

My husband and I had a great afternoon at Waitangi Treaty Grounds. A convenient short walk from the wharf with friendly staff ready to greet you. Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining as he showed around the grounds and the war canoes. The new museum is fantastic with its interactive displays but best of all was the cultural performance. The team with their amazing singing and dancing were the highlight. Excellent!

What an amazing day well spent at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. I loved the relaxed non commercial cultural show and our tour guide was informative and knowledgeable and funny. After a wonderful lunch at the whare Kai we headed into the museum...and emerged 3 hours later with a whole collection of new facts and thoughts. What an awesome way to pass a wet Sunday.

Museum has good information about Maori history and culture and how New Zealand as a country was formed. Great performances from dancers and background knowledge from guided tour. Nice bay views from the grounds. Highly recommended.

The guided tour is a must with excellent guides and I really enjoyed the cultural performance as it was done with sense of performance and fun that I think was a good balance. Museum and grounds with sea views complete the package and easily worth half a day to fully appreciate it including the cafe (just outside) that served good quality food.
