The Far North Travel Guide
The Far North accommodation, The Far North activities and attractions, The Far North maps, transportation to and around The Far North - the ALL NEW Jasons The Far North Destination Travel Guide is your complete visitor guide for The Far North.
The subtropical region of New Zealand - the Far North, is a delight to explore, with pristine bays, magnificent harbours and remote
Cape Reinga. The Far North is especially popular in the summer season, when visitors make the most of the relaxed lifestyle and stunning beaches and bays. Join a tour along the sweeping sands of Ninety Mile Beach up to Cape Reinga, with its panoramic views and historic lighthouse, or enjoy the boating and swimming at
Coopers Beach,
Cable Bay and
Taipa. Contrary to popular belief, Cape Reinga is not the northernmost point of New Zealand; that honour belongs to Surville Cliffs, 30km east of Cape Reinga.
On the east coast there are scenic walks, fishing, diving and boating around beautiful
Karikari Peninsula,
Hohoura Harbour and
Pukenui, or head across to
Ahipara at the foot of Ninety Mile Beach for a game on the town’s oceanside golf course. For some serious game fishing, visit
Whangaroa, a mecca for game fisherman.
Kaitaia and the seaside village of
Mangonui make ideal bases for exploring the Far North. You’ll find a host of activities to keep you busy including swimming, diving, kayaking, sailing, fishing, gathering shellfish, bushwalks, horseriding and camping.
