Things to See & Do in Whangarei & Northland
Depending on where you start - some great day excursions can be had right around the Northland region.
Long stretches of beach, an intimate bay, awe-inspiring trees could all feature - or perhaps a cultural encounter, a swim with the dolphins or a day out fishing. Culture, history, getting back to nature or pure indulgence can all be added to your list of 'must dos'.
