Need a leaflet for I-site for this 16km walk - goes from harbour to harbour and takes in many sites plus two volcanic cones - lots of history/natural history plus views from Mount Eden.

Bay of Islands: Efficient and very knowledgable bus driver.
Small number (of travellers) helped. Treaty ground - rushed and guide not really needed. Boat trip and hole in wall rock - excellent seeing dolphins on the way.

Come free as a deal with Tamaki evening.
Very very quiet, so a good walking route (guide lacked any indepth knowledge), with information boards. Free foot mud bath and woodcarving. Can pay for a full mud bath - I did not think worth it and time limited if on their bus.

Fabulous museum.
I spent 3 hours, but it was not enough to do it full justice.

Although seemed expensive, very good value as taken by bus, given tradition welcome, just time to see the crafts demonstrated before concert and hangi meal.
Eat as much as you want - meat, fish, salad, desert - excellent food.

Walking tour for 1 1/2 hours.
Small group in my case, very knowledable guide and well worth the money. You learn so much more about the buildings and conservation issues in Napier. Money helps to maintain.
