At Hikurangi turn onto the loop road to discover the Tutukaka Coast. Tutukaka is the gateway to the Poor Knights Islands (23 km/14 miles off the coast). These Islands are a wildlife reserve above water and a marine reserve below, providing a unique range of flora, fauna and fish in a dramatic setting. To take advantage of this marine area it is recommended visitors stay additional nights to: Dive or snorkel in the Poor Knights Islands marine reserve: dive trips leave from Tutukaka. The latest attraction is an artificial reef created by the sinking of the ex-naval ship Freedom Go big-game fishing. Boats depart from Tutukaka wharf.

Whangarei enjoys more than 2000 hours of sunshine a year, and there's rainfall enough to keep surroundings lush, green and attractively semi-tropical.

Other afternoon activities could include: Visiting Whangarei Falls A trip to Bream Head Scenic Reserve, Whangarei Heads - an outstanding walkway with magnificent coastal and harbour panoramas, through superb native forest Flightseeing and harbour cruises to get a feel for the beautiful scenery Overnight in the Whangarei district.
