Ahipara, Kohukohu, Rawene to Opononi

From the tip of Northland you are now following the path of pre-European Maori as they navigated their way from East Polynesia to their new homeland approximately 900 years ago. Unspoiled coastline, a warm welcome from the locals and an area of immense significance as one of the first areas for human occupation in Aotearoa New Zealand approximately 900 years ago. You will travel through sub-tropical rural communities and sleepy hamlets.
