The Journey - New Zealand
Karikari
Up in the far Northland region this peninsula is a beach lover's paradise. Situated right next to Maitai camp ground you have easy access to two stunning bays. With white sand beaches and crystal clear water Maitai Bay & Waikato Bay are in our opinion the best beaches in New Zealand. Whilst camping there the two of us went for a short treck between the two bays and the views where out of this world. We where also lucky enough to camp under the stars. Thanks to the lack of pollution in the air the night's sky was mesmerizing .
Situated up high in the sub tropical Northland Region this pretty little town has everything you could ask for in a beach side resort. With everything from lounging on the beach, parasailing, helicopter rides, boat trips, kayaking, wining and dining you can see why this town can get a little crowded in the summer time. Whilst there we hired a double kayak to conquer the leisurely stroll to the nearby waterfall.
