Journey from Northport to Whangarei, the northernmost city in New Zealand, where Maori legend tells of the twin sisters Reitu and Reipae, who travelled north aboard the legendary falcon Te Karearea. Your first visit is to Whangarei Falls, a striking 26.3-metre waterfall cascading over basalt cliffs. Take in panoramic views from the dedicated viewing platforms, offering memorable perspectives across the falls and surrounding forest.
Continue to Whangarei Quarry Gardens, a remarkable 60-acre garden featuring a lake, waterfalls, forest walks, picnic areas, a variety of garden styles, and historic remnants. Enjoy a guided introduction to the gardens, and time at leisure to explore at your own pace.
Next, travel to the Whangarei Town Basin, where free time allows you to stroll along the water's edge, browse local shops, relax in a café, or simply soak up the atmosphere.
After your exploration, rejoin your coach for the return journey to Northport, where your ship awaits.
Please note:
> The walking at Whangarei Falls, Whangarei Quarry Gardens, and Whangarei Town Basin is at guests’ discretion.
