Experience the truly pleasurable manaakitanga (hospitality) of the Hokianga in a family apartment with dinner and breakfast. A brief walk to the Harbour lets you see spectacular sand dunes.
Day 3
Gets you on a Jet Ski Safari with Awesome Adventures Hokianga . Hear the authentic legend of Kupe. Feel the exhilaration of wind through your hair and salt spray on your face. Yeeehaa! Now we have to move to catch the car ferry to Kohukohu and drive the winding roads of the beautiful North Hokianga. We’ll join
SH1 and continue to Ahipara at the southern end of Ninety Mile Beach, and take time for coffee and cake at North Drift Café. Tautua Rentals blasts you along Ninety Mile Beach on quad bikes between the Tasman Sea and high-rise sand dunes. Wow! Tonight you’ll snuggle in at the Wayfarer Motel in Kaitaia. Check out the spa, and take the time to look up. Far Northern stars are crystal magic against the black night.
Day 4

Home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, you stay for two nights at Mill Tide Apartment on the waterfront, just a short walk to Mangonui village.
Day 5
Up early to join Doubtless Bay Charters, and Captain Badjelly who delivers the fishing experience of your life on Doubtless Bay. Relax, chill, and enjoy your surroundings.
Day 6
Visit Butler Point Whaling Museum and Gardens. It’s a hidden fascinating tourism gem and heritage destination. In the afternoon practise wine tasting at The Dancing Petrel Vineyard with aromatic, hand harvested, cool-fermented wines. Tonight’s stay is at Kerikeri Park Lodge a short drive away. It’s close to the
Chocolate Factory. We defy you to walk in there and come out empty-handed! Kerikeri has great food options and plenty of boutique style shops for a good old mooch around.
Day 7
A Family Pass to the Parrot Place is unmissable with exotic parrots from all over the world. Leave the birds to take the guided tour at Kemp House with entry to the museum at the Stone Store, two of the country’s oldest standing buildings.

Admirals View Lodge. End the day’s adventures up high! Flying Kiwi Parasail will meet you at the Paihia Wharf with 2x tandem parasails. Just relax and savour the extraordinary scenery from 1300ft. On a clear day you might see the Hole in the rock and the outer Islands (144) past Russell. Catch your breath whilst riding the
Happy Ferry across the inner Bay to Russell, a town full of character, history, and charm, and dine in the iconic Duke of Marlborough Hotel.
