Whangarei Tours
From picturesque beaches and sweeping bays to lush native forest and pristine waterfalls, tours of Whangarei and the surrounding districts cover every attraction and activity imaginable. There are cruises to take you fishing or diving and tours to traditional Maori Pas and cultural performances. Meet the people, flora and fauna of the Whangarei area on a personalised tour or join a 4WD adventure tour complete with rock climbing, abseiling and kiwi bush tucker BBQ. It’s all here so make some time to enjoy it all and soak up the Northland holiday atmosphere. The beautiful settlement of Tutukaka is the departure point for all marine charters from Whangarei.
Diving at the Poor Knights Islands is rated among the best in the world due to the large expanse of marine reserve that surrounds them and is an opportunity not to be missed. Take a day charter or stay a little longer on an overnight cruise. Equipment is available for hire and the boats are designed for easy access to and from the water. The waters and beaches around Whangarei are also popular for deep sea fishing tours and surfing safaris. Further inland, take a tour of the spectacular Abbey Caves and discover the underground world of stalagmites, stalactites and friendly glow worms.
Cycle your way around the Northland area on a custom designed trail to suit your ability, age and time frame. Tours are self led but provide the trail to follow and all the major attractions to visit along the way. Go horse riding on the beach or through native Kauri forests on a guided trail ride or Kayak down one of the many scenic rivers and waterways that make up the Whangarei region. Whangarei accommodation is central to all tour pick ups and drop offs which makes connecting with your tours a breeze. Whangarei is the gateway to The Bay of Islands and the charming towns of Paihia and Russell.
The historical settlement of Waitangi is also found here so it is well worth the drive to continue a little further North. AAT Kings have extended tours of The Bay of Islands with accommodation, transport and selected meals included if you would like a fully guided tour with informative commentary. Shuttle services, personalised bus tours and scenic flights all operate out of Whangarei to take you anywhere you wish to go.
