From an initial website, www.whangareiheadstourism.co.nz which was founded in 2006 a group of accommodation and activity providers has developed whose idea is to promote Whanagrei Heads as a tourism destination. The group believes there are huge opportunities, and see our objectives as being wholly consistent with 'Whangarei :Love It Here!'
There are so many leisure opportunities on this beautiful peninsula which can be enjoyed at little or no cost. With plenty of accommodation to suit all budgets-from holiday park to holiday homes you can find options!
The scenery, ranging from the many beautiful bays ,coves and beaches to the rugged volcanic peaks we all know and love, is captivating for locals and visitors alike. Many varied walks are available, some more challenging than others. In everry case it is worth bringing a camera to capture the views.Wonderful work has been done to create and maintain these tracks, in fact an upgrade of The Bream Head Walk is in progress even as this is being written!
If walking is too energetic for you, there are many oter options, on land as well as on/in the water. More details and suggestions can be found on the website.
It is easier too to find your way here, thanks to the newly signposted Whangarei Heads Tourist Drive, which begins at The Town Basin and culminates at Ocean Beach where 'The Heads' meets the Pacific Ocean in spectacular style. In itself the drive is an enjoyable way to while away some leisure time. Along the way there are so many possibilities. The many Artist's studios are proof of how inspiring the area is. There are several places to stop for a coffee or something stronger...and generally these are waterside with their own unique view.
Whangarei Heads is just one part of the Tourist opportunity the district can present. Bream Bay and The Tutukaka Coast (With its services to The Poor Knights), and of course Central Whangarei with The Falls,The Town Basin, The beautiful Quarry Gardens, Kiwi North and so on mean this District is one which has huge appeal. Love it Here! For more details se www.whangareiheadstourism.co.nz
