  • An exhilarating ride through the Te Paki stream
    known locally as ‘Quick Sand’ stream. Give yourself a workout by climbing the giant sand dunes and boogie board back down.

  • Cape Reinga
    The magnificent sweeping views of Te Werahi beach down to Cape Maria Van Dieman, the crashing turmoil as the Tasman Sea and the mighty Pacific Ocean collide, the splendid isolation of the lighthouse and the location of the Spirit Tree are just some of the highlights of this extremely spiritual place.

  • Awanui and the Ancient Kauri Kingdom
    Here you can browse the products made from ancient and massive Kauri timber.

  • Visit the ‘world famous’ Mangonui Fish shop
