Your pass is divided into the following 'legs'. You can book travel in either direction (i.e. follow the itinerary from top to bottom, or bottom to top). You can also stop as often as you like along the way on each leg (for example, on the Auckland to Paihia leg you can book from Auckland to Whangarei, Whangarei to Kawakawa and Kawakawa to Paihia).
When booking tours you must book to and from the stops shown. View our TravelPass tours page for more information.
Starting in Auckland, head north to Paihia in the Bay of Islands. Its warm sheltered waters make it the perfect place to swim with dolphins and view a variety of marine life.
Your travel pass includes a half-day cruise around the Bay of Islands to the ‘Hole in the Rock’ at Cape Brett. Keep an eye out for dolphins, whales and other marine life.
Return to Auckland, home of the Harbour Bridge, Sky Tower and Rangitoto Island.
