I have made a wonderful snorkeling day with PAHIA DIVE (7:45 - 3:30). Afterwards enough time to get the ferry to Russell and walk to the famous Christ Church Anglican and have Dinner.
PAIHIA will offer nice Shops, Restaurants, Arts and QRC Tai Tokerau Resort College.
In 30 min. You reach KERIKERI with much more Sightseeing Highlights…
