A Weekend of fine weather & country rock music it's been wonderful dancing & laughing & sipping on wine.
The full Flower Moon shining bright last night.
Long may the sun shine and the plants grow.
The birds are tweeting outside my window. Autumn days and cool nights are upon us
We'll be around about for tours and taking a few trips ourselves the months ahead. Give us a buzz the north has many sights to be seen and private tour itinerary's are a great way to see them.

Bbbbrrrr It's getting a little cooler and we've had a fantastic downpour to break the drought. Water was welcome for so many animals, birds, gardens, water tanks, winery's and to give a lot of the country a wash. As the cruise ship season floats to an end time to think about some winter adventures. The Far North is a relaxing place to sit and watch the sea roll in and out. The sun still shines for those wonderful walks especially thru the Kauri Forest and native bush. Winery's Marsden Estate & Sovrano Estate are offering delicious lunch, chocolate is still being made Makana Confections and so many other exciting places to visit, unique casual wear Kaleo Designs - Bay of Islands History at the @ Kerikeri Mission Station & many more places to see
Come join us on a personalised adventure around the
Bay of Islands

Rave reviews make us feel wonderful :)...... & this is one...
Our first port of call on the cruise was the stunning Bay of Islands. I always prefer private guided tours during my travels, so I reached out to Annette from TOTAL TOURS, who organized a perfect itinerary for us.

Our guide, Allan, was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also had a personal connection to the area. As a descendant of the first Europeans to arrive in New Zealand and with Maori heritage, he was a proud local farmer who shared invaluable insights about the region's history and culture. His connection to the land made our tour all the more engaging.

Allan took us on a journey of discovery, steering us away from the typical tourist spots and into the charming town of Kawakawa. There, we experienced the famous artist Hundertwasser’s unique influence, from impressive murals to functional public toilets that still attract visitors today.

Throughout the tour, Allan shared fascinating stories, revealed hidden gems not found on standard itineraries, and even introduced us to the delicious New Zealand meat pie. We visited the impressive Haruru Falls and Rainbow Falls, explored a forest with mighty Kauri trees and explored the beautiful area near the Historic Stone Store Mission Station, where New Zealand's first stone houses were built in the 1830s.

Every moment of our tour with Allan was enjoyable, and my wife and I highly recommend him and his family-owned business, TOTAL TOURS. Thank you, Annette and Allan, for creating cherished memories that my wife and I will hold onto forever.
All the best,
Michal and Gilad Kaplansky,
Israel.
