Sights, hikes and nature
These are our favourite spots to visit and reconnect with natures beauty.
Arai te Uru is one of our favourite spots to sit and enjoy the full beauty of the Hokianga harbour on one side and the wild untouched ruggedness of the Tasman ocean on the other.
The point is a solid 12km return walk from Pāhautea or for an easier option you can drive to the lookout and it’s a 10 minute easy walk along the ridge.
