Amazing. Will be doing it again.
We booked the winter eco experience aboard the Albatross V. Having the dolphins swim alongside our boat for 20 minutes was an amazing experience. Our skipper had a great personality, very knowledgeable and shared lots of stories and information with us. We had a wonderful day out and enjoyed the muffins. Great fun. We would highly recommend this experience.
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 had a great experience with these guys. Super friendly and gave us lots of info and other places to go and visit too.
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!
Taylor and Kate are awesome host and we learnt a lot about local birds and Kayaking and stand up paddling techniques.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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 !
Wonderful time spent at this very special place. Incredible Maori performance & great food. A must do for anyone visiting NZ
An absolute must do. Amazing guided tour and a cultural performance that gave me goosebumps.
The best cultural experience I have been to in NZ. A great history lesson. The team at Waitangi are fabulous performers & hosts. A must do when visiting the bay of Islands!
Thanks. We had a fantastic day. The ceremonies were so entertaining. It was great to have the Māori culture and history explained to us on the guided tour. We finished the day off with a hangi. Solly our Māori expert was great. I’d recommend this day to everyone visiting this area. IT’S A MUST DO!!
Booking online was much cheaper than the cruise excursion and the town's shuttle bus to the Treaty Grounds was fantastic. Guided tour was excellent and the headsets meant everyone could hear the guide whilst wandering around the area. The Cultural Performance was wonderful, informative and entertaining. It was a great outing.
The day pass kicked off with the Cultural Performance. This was a high energy and fun show presented by a very talented team of Maori performers. A guided tour took us through the grounds and provided a knowledgeable and informative overview of the local history, culture and of regional and national heritage. A pleasant bite to eat at the cafe and then a walk through the museum which depicts a chronological history of discovery, colonisation, conflict and national unification. Well worth a visit, highly recommend it.
Awesome guided tour best part of our journey especially the performance ... love love love yous
Had a fab afternoon at the treaty grounds. Lots to do and all the guides are very knowledgeable and friendly! Definitely join one of the guided tours and the cultural performance if you have time as they are both amazing.
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!
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 !
The treaty grounds presents the cultural history of New Zealand brilliantly! Well worth a visit! I visited in August with my son and had a personal tour with John - had the same tour on this visit with other friends and my husband and John again took the tour but a large group and was still as interesting! The man knows his history and his passion for his job shines through as he answered questions and queries! The cultural performance was splendid and ended the tour brilliantly!
The guided tour of the treaty grounds was very informative. The ear piece given to listen to the guide was very handy as sometimes it is quite hard for everyone to hear such things. When we were out by the wakas, there were alot of children around with a school group, and so that made it hard to listen. Meeting house show was a bit of a laugh
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.
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.
A very educational experience. It is good for the kids. Highly recommended.
It is great. I could learn Maori dance and history there.
