Travel Note
Bus
Intercity Bus from Auckland airport to Gisborne. Website: https://www.intercity.co.nz/north-island-buses/bus-auckland-to-gisborne Note: Although incredibly scenic, the Waioeka Gorge Scenic Reserve is very long and windy with 2.5-3 hours commute time though the Gorge on SH2. If prone to bus or car sickness, we recommend flying into Gisborne.
