Historic Kerikeri Shore Excursion with Lunch | Mullarkey Tours | Shaara Deals

A 200-year-old mission station, a working chocolate factory, and lunch with a beer or wine at a historic pub — Mullarkey Tours' shore excursion to Kerikeri, listed on Shaara Deals from $250, is a 5-hour tour built for cruise passengers who want the Bay of Islands' history without missing the tender.

Rainbow Falls and Makana Chocolate

The day starts at the breathtaking Rainbow Falls, where three viewing platforms at the top offer great photo opportunities, before heading to the Makana Chocolate Factory to sample handmade chocolates, with time to browse the adjacent Kauri Workshop's crafts and collectibles.

New Zealand's oldest building

The tour then moves to the Kerikeri Mission Station, established in 1819, for a guided tour through two of the country's most historic buildings: The Stone Store, built in 1832 as a Missionary Society warehouse, and the adjacent Kemp House, New Zealand's oldest building, completed in 1821/22 by missionary carpenters and Māori sawyers.

Lunch at the historic Plough & Feather

While at the Mission Station, the group visits the historic Plough & Feather pub for lunch with a glass of locally made beer or wine, both included in the price. The final stop is the Waitangi Lookout Loop, a last chance for photos over Waitangi, Russell and the Bay of Islands before heading back to the wharf.
