Attractions

Bay of Islands have an impressive boat cruise that goes through a whole in the rock, and a chance to see dolphins.
Tours run to Cape Reinga and offer a great day out. Otherwise you can drive up there and back along 90 mile beach that is an official roadway.
Waitangi is where New Zealand history began, so take a look at the Marae and surrounding Paihia.
Tane Mahuta in Waipoua forest is the biggest tree in New Zealand and is known as the God of the forest
