3235 - Whangarei Walks

Over this long weekend, we will be based at a house in Whangarei that is for our sole use. However, the group will be limited to 10 initially and if numbers exceed that amount, we’ll look at getting an additional place to stay.  The accommodation is at Regent Residential House (look it up to see what amenities there are), at a cost of $180 per person for the three nights. 

The plan is to drive to Whangarei on Good Friday morning, leaving time to do some walking in the afternoon.  Over Saturday-Sunday, we’ll look at doing walks at Bream Head and Whangarei Heads. We will allow time to head a bit further north to Whananaki (on the east coast about an hour from Whangarei) to explore this area as well.  The sea temperature should be good so bring your bathers as there is a nice walk on offer – the 6-hour return Whananaki Coastal Walkway.  

On Monday morning, we’ll head back home, possibly by the Kaipara Coast Highway (there’s a 12km circular walk that starts and finishes at historic Mataia Homestead). 

The programme overall will depend on what the group would like to do. Most walks will be graded easy-medium overall.  

You’ll need to register early to guarantee a spot in this trip.
