Sailing in Whangaroa Harbour is a cruiser’s paradise. Tucked in a fjord-like indentation in the coast, the waters are sheltered and calm and are lined with bays and coves where you can anchor in seclusion. High forested hills rise steeply from the shores, creating a stunning backdrop of natural beauty virtually everywhere. There are two resorts in the harbor, as well as a first-rate marina.

Taking the dinghy into the creek off Lane’s Cove is a fun excursion, though you have to go in at high tide. The harbor has two resorts, Kingfish Lodge at Kingfish Cove and the Game Fishing Club at Whangaroa settlement. Both have restaurants and bars.
