“Te Paki is home to a wide range of native plants and animals, with easy access to great campgrounds, walking tracks and many recreation opportunities.”
Straddling the northernmost tip of the North Island, Te Paki is one of the most intact and diverse ecosystems in New Zealand.
The northernmost section of the North Island comprises a diverse area of hill country, steep coastal cliffs, continually changing dunelands and expansive wetlands, with many endemic and threatened plants and animals and unique vegetation associations.
Its features include the extensive estuary, eelgrass, saltmarsh and mangroves of Parengarenga Harbour, and the gleaming white sands of Kokota Spit.
You can explore the area on your own, or there are a good number of tourism operators offering specially designed tours.
