An exciting Multi Sport destination
Multi-Sport is a big thing in New Zealand! Holidaying in New Zealand is first of all about adventure and experiences. Landscape, people, creating memories and of course much much more. Whangarei District is a place filled to the brim with just what you need to create those memories.
Whangarei Heads and the Whangarei District, in general, are exciting Multi-Sport destinations. Furthermore, we have a wide range of hiking trails, cycle trails and routes and kayaking opportunities just to mention a few. With a subtropical climate, Northland is New Zealand’s warmest region and is a year-round cycling destination.
Run along our deserted beaches and hike spectacular mountains. In addition, you can choose to either go Kayaking on the Pacific ocean side or in the sheltered harbour.
