Perfect Day Ocean Cruise

An icon on Northland’s horizon, the Poor Knights Islands are both a complete Marine Reserve, and a Nature Reserve. The Perfect Day’s half-day cruise takes you snorkeling, kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding in sub-tropical waters, sightseeing into the World's largest sea-cave and through spectacular arches. With a dramatic volcanic backdrop and turbulent Maori history, teaming schools of fish and bird life, this is a day you will remember for the rest of your life.

Matapouri Bay

Reviewed By 473kylieo - Mosgiel, New Zealand

All of the bays around this area are breath taking. We are kiwis but felt as if we had gone overseas. Found a perfect freedom camping site at Woolley Bay on Christmas Day. All sites are clearly marked and so well organised by local council. Great options for calm waters and surf beaches all within a short drive.

Tutukaka Headland

Reviewed By Sus1952 - Palmerston North, New Zealand

I was apprehensive about walking to the lighthouse having read reviews that told of how sections of the path were difficult, as I have some agility issues. Of course you have to attempt the walk as close to low tide as possible which we did. There are lots of steps down to the beach joining the island to the mainland. Then there was a steep climb up to the lighthouse. I took two walking poles and had on trail running shoes which have a good grip. The paths were very dry when we walked the track so this also helped. The view from the lighthouse was truly amazing and well worth all the effort. You can see across to the Poor Knights and beyond, and to the bays below the headland.

Sandy Bay

Reviewed By Mum-of-a-surfer - New Zealand, null

This is a great surfer beach for beginners and experienced alike. We always have an awesome time here. Can get busy when the surfs up on a nice day but plenty of parking and toilets make it a great beach.
