New Zealand Bus Tours and Activities

NZ BEACHES

New Zealand is made up of three main islands – all surrounded by amazing coastline. The majority is still accessible to the public and Stray takes you to as much of it as possible. Our mild climate also means that almost every beach and their local activities such as sailing or seal spotting are available year round.

Hahei Beach

We stay in cabins beside one of New Zealand’s most beautiful white sand beaches. At one end of the beach is the famous Cathedral Cove walk, the next beach along is ‘Hot Water beach’ where you can dig a hole in the sand and sit in your own hot pool.

Raglan Surf Town

We stay in a lodge in native bush, which is a few hundred metres from a world famous surf break and wild coastline. Try the surf school or simply go for a walk along the beach or in the bush on Mount Karioi.

Paihia and Cape Reinga

Paihia is situated in the Bay of Islands and as the name suggests is surrounded by islands. There are fantastic beaches with all numbers of water related activities, including diving, swimming with dolphins, sailing trips, waka trips (Maori canoe), and day trips up to Cape Reinga which is the most northern part of New Zealand. On the day trip you'll see the famous Ninety Mile beach and get the chance to do some sand boarding.

East Cape Trip

The East Cape has some of the most beautiful untouched beaches in New Zealand. You can relax, do a bit of fishing, gather your own kaimoana (seafood) talk to the locals in all of the stops, as well as riding the waves in Gisborne which is a renown surf town.

Abel Tasman National Park

We stay a day and a night at our exclusive accommodation on the edge of the park, which is surrounded by a gorgeous golden sand coastline. If you’re looking to chill out… head out on a walk, fine a secluded spot and enjoy!

Kaikoura
