Highlights

  • Waitangi

Your day at a glance

You pick the start time. Most guests leave around 9:00 am and are back by roughly 2 pm. Earlier or later starts are fine — just tell us at checkout. Nothing below is a fixed schedule; your driver flexes with how long you want at each spot.

⇄Round trip — you start and finish at Paihia. Numbers 2 onwards are the stops along the way.

This route is a suggestion, not a timetable

  • Booking this trip doesn't lock you into these exact places. On the day you can ask your driver to skip a stop, linger longer somewhere, or head somewhere else entirely.
  • The one thing we do need to keep is where you're picked up and where you finish — those stay as booked.
  • Your booked time still applies (5 hours for this trip). Your driver has to get home too, so anything beyond that needs to be arranged and paid for in advance.

Price covers the private vehicle, driver and fuel. Activity tickets (e.g. Hobbiton, Waitomo Caves, geothermal parks) are the customer's responsibility.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a private trip?

Yes. The vehicle and driver are yours for the day — no other passengers.

Can we change the stops?

Yes. You can add or remove stops that fall near the route on the day, as long as we stay inside the booked hours so your driver can get home legally.

Are entry tickets included?

No. Attraction tickets and meals are paid separately; we time the day around any bookings you already hold.
