7 days in Whangarei Itinerary

Whangarei is the northernmost city in New Zealand and the regional capital of Northland Region. Venture out of the city with trips to Paihia (Nature & Wildlife Tours, Fishing Charters & Tours, &more), Sculptureum (in Matakana) and Tawharanui Regional Park (in Warkworth). There's still lots to do: trek along Bream Head Coast Walks, look for all kinds of wild species at Poor Knights Island Marine Reserve, take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Mount Manaia Track, and contemplate the long history of The Stone Store & Kemp House - Kerikeri Mission Station.

If you are flying in from Israel, the closest major aiport is Auckland International Airport. Finish up your sightseeing early on the 14th (Tue) so you can travel back home.
