One Hour, Three Scenic Stops, Endless Thrills

The Bay Combo Excursion is the ultimate one-hour ride for travellers wanting to see it all—fast. Kicking off from Paihia, your V8 trike takes you first to the thundering Haruru Falls, then to the sweeping views at Waitangi Lookout, and on to the quaint coastal village of Opua. It's a high-energy tour packed with variety and spectacular Northland scenery.

Built for both comfort and excitement, the trikes feature a 5.7L 350 Chevrolet Edelbrock engine and a low centre of gravity for excellent handling. You’ll feel the thrill of the open road as your guide leads you through winding corners and picture-perfect backdrops. This is Bay of Islands sightseeing with a twist—and a whole lot of torque.
