Bay of Islands Transfer Pass from Auckland

Auckland, New Zealand

The Kiwi Experience Bay of Islands bus pass transfers you from Auckland to Paihia in the stunning 'winterless north' of New Zealand. Here you will find the beautiful Bay of Islands, with its 144 islands and amazing beaches. This location has an awesome selection of water and land based adventure activities. Take the opportunity to swim with the dolphins, ride out to the famous hole in the rock, or go kayaking, sailing, fishing, diving, snorkeling, or just relax on the beach!

Our 'Bay of Islands' pass departs Auckland early and arrives into the Bay of Islands around midday - giving you the opportunity to maximize your stay in the Paihia. On our departure, we head over the Auckland Harbour Bridge with a view over the Waitemata Harbour and north to Warkworth. At Warkworth we stop for morning tea (at your own expense) at the Honey Center, which is a great place to try a free tasting of locally made Manuka honey. Back on the coach, we have a short bathroom stop at Whangarei before arriving in Paihia.

Once in Paihia you will stop in at the Awesome NZ Center where you can book any activities you may have planned for the day. Our crew will be on hand to help recommend the best local spots, activities and walking tracks in the area.

You have all afternoon and the following day to do as you please in Paihia before our return departure to Auckland departs at around 3:00pm on  your return date. (Your return transfer back to Auckland is automatically booked for the following day, but you have the option to stay longer and change your return date should you make the necessary prior arrangements.)


It’s a four hour drive back into Auckland. We aim to drop you at various drop off locations before 7:30pm.
