poor knights islands (2)
And every day the groundhog greets you EXCLUSIVELY on Instagram
We didn't have high expectations, as there are only 4 kiwis on the island and they are quite shy and you usually only hear them and don't see them. As we marched through the forest with our red light lamps, there was a rustling in the trees. The "rustling" had felt the size of a wolf. The transitions to sunlit areas are partly smaller caverns and the many archways are also worth seeing above the waterline. Diving and snorkeling are the best ways to explore the underwater world of the Poor Knights Islands. Various charter dive boat departures from Tutukaka Harbour, 30 kilometres from Whangarei. Tutukaka is located in a beautiful harbour, where boats depart for one of the most popular diving areas in the world, the Poor Knights Islands Marine Reserve. We feel really ripped off and misinformed. Dive Tutukaka' only advertises with the 'Top 10 rating by Jacques Cousteau', which automatically raises expectations that don't come true. After 4 weeks on the South and North Island and driving about 5.000 km of roads and tracks with the off-road vehicle, we let the last 3 days of our trip end in a very dignified and relaxed way.
Dive Tutukaka is a relatively large and very professionally managed dive center, which goes out every day with two boats.
The all-easy concept works even when driving on the left-hand side of the road.

of this even only on this one group of islands.the theory it was the practice's turn. Especially since the fish are not fed. The islands themselves are not allowed to be entered without special permission, but you can dive in the nature reserve off the coast.

I will plan a trip there with my exchange school in Kassel. Unfortunately this day went around much too fast. Read more about campervan hire New Zealand here.
A trip through the Nullarbor plain
I really wonder if any of the guidebook writers have ever dived there. The kelp forests were maybe 40cm high and we saw almost no fish. In the tiny village of Tutukaka there are only two restaurants, a supermarket and a cafe, and only a few holiday flats. The biggest one within a radius of 25km - but that may not mean much. But there is nevertheless a good reason why people from all over the world visit Tutukaka.
