Whangaumu Bay, Tutukaka
6 October 2013
We stayed the last couple of days of our holiday at a family friends batch at Whangaumu Bay near Tutukaka, another great spot with lots to do. We did a few walks, went fishing, kayaking (with bottlenose dolphins), and snorkelling.
We did the Tutukaka Headland walk a nice 1hr return track across a small beach and through some native bush. Dont go at high tide as the beach in the middle disappears.
At the end of the headland there were some great views of the tutukaka coast. This is looking out to Te Waite Bay and Rahomauno Island where we kayaked to one day.

Sunset over the Ngunguru Estuary. There is a nice walk around the rocks at low tide to Ngunguru township.
There were bottlenose dolphins playing in the bay and when we went out kayaking around the coast they followed us for a good half hour. Its amazing to see them up close jumping beside us and swimming right under our kayaks.

A really nice relaxing spot to stay
