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.

We did the Bushwalk and Snack Run trip. Met by, and taken on tour by Mel this was a great fun experience. Can thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone. We stopped to feed the chickens, stopped to walk a beautiful Kahikatea Tree Forest, had yummy Milo and fed a Weka while stopped in a little Bush Camp and then to the end of the line to turn around (great fun turning around!), and head back to the starting point. 2 to 4 persons per converted golf cart Easy for adults and teenagers to drive - no steering required ! We really loved it!

Superb transport to the start of the track. Our driver Dutchy (AKA John) made the drive over very entertaining while also being very knowledgeable about the mountains while also keeping safety on the track a priority. He provided a flexible pick up time at the end of the track so it took the pressure out of trying to rush to the finish to make the bus. An excellent driver and will travel with him the next time I am out on the crossing! Highly recommend!

Great shuttle service. We used their private parking and transfer from their compound close to the trailhead. My only complaint is that the entrance/turnoff was not well marked with their tour name (maybe it was just us, but the sign had other things on it too, so we drove right past). :-) However... they provide a 'free' cold beer or soda upon pickup at the completion of the crossing. Man, that alone was worth the price! :-)
