Combine two of New Zealand's most iconic experiences in one seamless private day.

Journey to one of the world's most beautiful coastal regions - the Bay of Islands, with the second bluest sky on earth after Rio de Janeiro. After a scenic three-hour private drive north through Northland, board a catamaran for a guided four-hour cruise across 144 islands, spotting dolphins and marine life, visiting the famous Hole in the Rock, and stopping on Urupukapuka Island for 360° panoramic views. Lunch, snacks, and private luxury transfer included throughout.
Journey to Rotorua for a private encounter with New Zealand's most dramatic geothermal landscape. Explore the 60-hectare Te Whakarewarewa Valley - home to over 500 geothermal wonders including the Pohutu Geyser, the Southern Hemisphere's largest active geyser. Encounter live Kiwi birds, watch master Māori carvers and weavers at work, experience a live Haka and cultural performance, and sit down to a traditional Hangi feast prepared in the time-honoured way.
New Zealand is one of the world’s great destinations – a place of sweeping natural beauty, deep cultural richness, and world-class food and wine. But the way you experience it makes all the difference.
Our luxury private tours in New Zealand are designed for travellers who value quality over quantity, depth over rush, and genuine personal attention over the anonymity of group travel. Every tour is your own – your group, your pace, your day.
Whether you are a couple seeking a scenic tour through wine country, an international visitor wanting a personalised New Zealand experience, or a discerning traveller looking for something truly memorable, Auckland & Beyond Tours delivers an exceptional private journey from beginning to end.
Travel exclusively in our modern Mercedes-Benz luxury fleet. Be guided by passionate local experts who bring New Zealand’s history, culture, and landscapes to life. Enjoy fully inclusive itineraries – gourmet lunches, all entry fees, snacks, WiFi, and door-to-door hotel transfers – so that every detail is taken care of and you can simply focus on the experience.
Our tours are available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Arabic, German, Russian, and Italian.
What separates a good tour from an extraordinary one is the detail – the care taken before you arrive, the knowledge brought by your guide, the quality of every element of your day. At Auckland & Beyond Tours, this is what we have built over more than a decade of delivering premium private and scenic tours across New Zealand.
Our luxury vehicles are modern Mercedes-Benz – fitted with leather seating, climate control, complimentary WiFi, and USB charging ports. Your guide is not simply a driver: they are a storyteller, a local expert, and a passionate advocate for the places you visit.
Every private tour is fully customisable before and even during the day. Want to linger at a vineyard? Request a specific restaurant? Plan a surprise proposal? Mark a milestone anniversary? We work with you personally to ensure the experience is exactly right.
From the award-winning vineyards of Waiheke Island and the geothermal wonders of Rotorua to the legendary landscapes of Middle-earth and the pristine coast of the Bay of Islands, we deliver New Zealand’s finest experiences – on your terms.
