Whangaroa Harbour

Reviewed By 523sally - Auckland Central, New Zealand

We thought it was too windy to go boating but there is always a sheltered spot on that Harbour. You have to see it-dynamic history, dramatic scenery and stunning nature. The crew were friendly, obliging and very knowledgeable. Loved it! Certainly the highlight of our stay at Whangaroa

Whangaroa Harbour Water Transport

The water-taxi 'Waihi' is a comfortable purpose built vessel on which to enjoy the magnificent scenery and interesting history. Knowledgable local skippers share their stories of the harbour. The colonial and early contact of the 1800's and Whangaroa's busy days of the 1900s where the economy was based on fishing, boat building and the kauri timber trade. Whangaroa Harbour is hard to beat for pristine scenery. It is a beautiful and uniquely idyllic place. The natural beauty of the area shines through: pure nature in all it's glory. The outer reaches have amazing outcrops and rock formations which tumble into the lush green bush growing right down to the waters edge. There are many beautiful beaches and bays only accessible by water. Be picked up from Lane Cove walking track and be returned to Totara North, Lunch at Kingfish Lodge, or take our 90 minute Discover Whangaroa Harbour Tour.

Wairakau Stream Track

Reviewed By dionb24

This is a must do walk. Great bush. Nice streams. Amazing views. It's 5.5km, and then another 500m up Duke's head. I would suggest the Whangaroa Harbour Water Taxi back, though it's easy enough to walk

St Paul's Rock

Reviewed By 67arda - North Shore, New Zealand

this was a must do on our north trip - grateful and thankful - gorgeous walk up and the rewards are plenty - I am personally petrified of heights but was determined (with amazing coaxing from my whanau especially 20 year old son) to master the chains and height - just sooooooooooooo beautiful - the rock formations - amazing art of nature
