Northern fun

In association with local operators, Northland's Waipoua Lodge now provides three opportunities to explore the local environment. The Lord of the Forest guided walk is through ancient Waipoua Forest, home to the country's largest kauri tree, Tane Mahuta. There's also the Kauri Forest by Night tour through nearby Trounson Kauri Park which offers the chance to see kiwi in the wild. And beach lovers will enjoy the Shipwrecks & Seascapes outing on expansive Ripiro Ocean Beach.
