Things to Do in Ruawai

• Dargaville
  Just north of Ruawai is Dargaville. There are many attractions you can explore from here including the magnificent kauri forests, beautiful Kai Iwi Lakes, the vast stretch of west coast beach and the historic Kaipara Harbour.
• The Kauri Museum
  Just east of Ruawai, this award-winning museum focuses on the role the kauri played in shaping the lives of Northland's pioneer gum diggers and loggers.
• Kaipara Harbour & Wairoa River
  This comparatively shallow harbour offers good fishing. The historic Te Aroha, a Kauri schooner, offers cruises on the harbour, and there are jetboating tours down the Wairoa River, which flows into the harbour's northern arm.
• Fishing
  Charters can take you to fishing waters an hour out of Ruawai.
• Golf
