Day Trips in the Far North

Icecreams at Te Kao Store, 20 minutes from Pukenui Holiday ParkHere are a few places we recommend for the best day trips in the far north of Northland New Zealand…

1. Cape Reinga Trip – head to the top for the day

Whether you chose to self-drive and have flexibility, or take the bus tour and get a commentary, the Cape Reinga Trip is a must. Experience the Cape, relax and lunch at Tapotupotu Beach, then have a thrill sand-surfing or just admire the awesomeness of the Giant Te Paki Sand Dunes. On your return journey feast on the largest icecreams in NZ from Te Kao Store, cool down at Rarawa Beach before heading back to camp!!

2. Have a day at the beach

Visit our most popular beach – Rarawa. Walk on the crystal white silica sands shell hunting, or enjoy the clear blue waters. A great surf beach, or if you enter from the southern end the calm waters of Rarawa Creek offer sheltered quiet swimming, ideal for young families.

If you prefer a bit of snorkelling, or the golden sands, try Henderson Bay. Kayaks can be hired from the road as you drive down.

3. Historial Drive

Combine a visit to Gumdiggers Park (20 mins from the holiday park) and Kā Uri Unearthed for a morning or afternoon drive. If you wish to venture further, Matthews Vintage Cars in Taipa is another interesting visit.

4. A day fishing

Try your luck at Pukenui Wharf. If the kingfish are running it is specatular and loads of action. Otherwise rock Fishing at Henderson Bay following by a swim for the family, or take a fishing charter.

What Guests Say…

Within walking distance there is the wharf where everybody seems to catch a fish. It's unbelievable the array of fish life in the harbour - that's if the locals are to be believed! We did see some pretty massive 'kingies' (or kingfish) meandering along under the wharf while we were there. Nearby is a little supermarket, bar and restaurant and bottle store...
