Then it’s back on board as we head south towards the Waipoua Forest, travelling through the largest remaining tract of native kauri forests in Northland. We leave the West Coast and cross back over to the East towards the final destination and camp for tonight, Orewa. Home to one of the Auckland regions longest and safest beaches it’s a great place for a stroll and a swim.
