Excursions

Crossings Hokianga
Prices from:	£26 per person
The Hokianga Harbour is the residential place of Kupe, the first voyager to discover New Zealand over 1,000 years ago. Kupe and his followers settled in the harbour with its protected waters and abundance of food. Later some of the earliest European settlers came to the Hokianga and small communities were formed on the harbour’s edge. The environment is rich in history and scenery – from the kauri forests to giant sand dunes. It is a place that is as important today to modern Maori as it was their ancestors all those years ago.
