Auckland Help Needed :NZ, best choice of a good local tour operator & value for money to BOI
Posted: Wed September 10, 2008 03:02 AM UTC
Hi,

Can someone help. I'm trying to make up my mind on whether to choose Great Sights tours, Gray Lines tours or Innz Travel to my 1 day tour to Bays of Islands (BOI). Can someone who have actually been on either one of these tours or heard of any comments with regards to these tour operators services and value for money be so kind to feedback to this post.
Their itinarary and prices seemed almost identical. Some testimony or personal user experience might help me to make a decision. Many thanks

Unfortunately I cannot tell you this. I have only done the bus trip from Kaitaia or Ahipara to Cape Reinga, and that was with Harrison's Cape Runner. The rest of my trips by rental car or - in the Bay of Islands - with friends and/or their car.

of the lot id go with great sight tours (though a bit of a big bus experience). if you have the time id recommend getting your own or public transport up to the bay of island and spend a few days exploring.
