Cross the Waitangi Bridge and pass Haruru Falls en route to picturesque Kerikeri.
Visit the Stone Store and learn about Kemp House. These are the two oldest buildings in New Zealand. Kemp House was built for the Missionary Society of London in 1819.
Enjoy a morning snack as you take in the views of the Waitangi River.
Travel to the Waitangi Treaty House where, in 1840, the British Crown and many Maori chiefs of New Zealand signed the Treaty of Waitangi — the founding document of modern New Zealand.
During your guided tour of the Waitangi grounds, you'll view New Zealand history from a Maori perspective and discover the impact of the Treaty on Maori and on this young country's culture. Step inside the Georgian-style house that was the home to James Busby from 1832 to 1840. A huge waka, or war canoe, is drawn up on the beach below the house.
Before calling it a day, you'll visit the gift shop for locally made jewelry, ceramics, and New Zealand-themed souvenirs.
