Whangarei Falls to Ngunguru (15 mins)

Directions to the Whangarei Falls are clear throughout Whangarei and from SH1 (follow the brown signs). There is parking, picinic areas and public toilets at the falls. You can either view the spectacular falls from above, walk to the bottom for a better view or spend an hour doing the round-trip bush walk to the AH Reed Kauri Walk. After the falls turn right and continue on the main road east towards the coast. Huanui Orchards for fresh fruit and vege and Glenbervie Pottery along Ngunguru road are worth a visit. Around Glenbervie you will see historic dry-stone walls that line each side of the road. After winding through the countryside you reach a tidal river leading towards Ngunguru. Native bush and mangroves surround you as you come closer to the coast. Ngunguru village is the first coastal location with a picturesque sandspit fringed estuary and a sandy beach just past the school. Stroll along the waterfront with an ice cream or walk around the coast to Whangaumu Bay (Wellingtons Bay) when the tide is low.

Ngunguru to Tutukaka Marina (5 mins)

Following the coast out of town the road winds upwards and inland. Towards the top of the hill on the right is an observation area where you can look out on the islands across the sea. Continuing on down the hill take a detour along Tutukaka Block road which leads along a peninsula with several scenic bays and great views before you arrive at Whangaumu Bay. You have to back track from there onto the main road where you will find the Tutukaka Marina at the bottom of the hill. Wander amongst the boats around the marina, pop into one of the shops on the ground floor of Oceans Hotel or just sit back with a coffee or a glass of wine at one of the excellent cafes or bars and enjoy the ambience. Diving and snorkeling/sightseeing boat trips to the Poor Knights Islands operate from the Tutukaka Marina.
