• Whangarei Falls
  "Easy access and scenic place"
  "On a good day, this is a perfect picnic spot although the car park can be a bit crowded and there have been security issues in the past so no matter what, don't leave valuables lying about. Access is just off the highway to Tutukaka and the spectacular coast road which heads north along breathtaking..." beaches and lush vegetation. The Falls have been an institution since we were kids and one never tires of watching the water. It has very therapeutic qualities. This is an ideal attraction to do as part of a day tour from Whangarei, through Tikipunga, looping up towards Marua, Hikurangi via Tutukaka and then on to the Bay of Islands or across to the Hokianga, through the Waipoua Forest and past Tane Mahuta with a stop at Trounson Park (amazing collection of majestic Kauri trees here) before afternoon tea in Dargaville and home to base at Whangarei.

• Whangarei Heads
  "A touch of the tropics"
  "Northland's volcanic past is very evident here with the profile of Mt Manaia especially reminding one of similar peaks in Tahiti, Rarotonga and other high islands of the Cook Islands and also Hawai'i. Off shore are other volcanic remnants - the Poor Knights and Hen and Chickens. When driving nort..."h from Auckland, the revelation of the Heads and Mt Manaia from the top of the Brynderwyns is truly magnificent on a clear and sunny day. It screams "tropical island". However, there are many coves and beaches in the Heads area - harbour side and ocean side, as well as options for lunch. The area is especially popular in summer and places like Pataua and Whananaki South are also worth a look for more scenic views. " More >
• Mt Manaia
  "Good for fitness and great views"
  "Save this for a fine day as it would be very challenging on a less than perfect day and a waste of effort since the views are amazing. These are part of the bones of Northland's ancient volcanic past but the bush (rain forest) has softened some of the contours. A good level of fitness is required..." and care must be taken but this is well worth the effort. Northland has some great scenery and it really does suggest a lush and tropical island. When is it sunny and warm, it is truly amazing - a scenic gem! " More >
