Rawene with the ferry
Travelling around Northland the car ferry between Rawene and Kohukohu may help you to find your way and will shorten your drive from the Hokianga Harbour (Waipoua Forest/Omapere/Opononi) to Kataia and Cape Reinga.
From Kohukohu we made a very interesting detour to Mitimiti at the wild coast of the Tasman Sea (see tip).
Before or after crossing Hokianga harbour stay a little while in Rawene for a cup of coffee and to walk around in this little village with its buildings built over the water and the kauri homestead of Clendon House.
For the time table and the fares of the Hokianga Ferry see website.
Mode: AROUND
Type: Ship/Boat
one of the ferries between Paihia and Russell
Paihia and Russell are the main towns in the Bay of Islands area. They are connected by road (a long and scenic but dangerous drive), a car ferry between Opua (6 km south of Paihia) and Okiato (12 km south of Russell).
Most visitors will use the passenger ferry across the bay between the two cities. There are three companies operating these ferries and they run more or less every twenty minutes till 10 pm. It takes about ten minutes to cross from Paihia to Russell.
A ferry crossing cost NZD 5,- one way. I would recommend to buy one way tickets, so you are free to go back with each company.
