Walk through regenerating forest where some of the native plants have descriptive plaques and cross the suspension bridge into the crown of a 600 year old kauri tree. Contact Glenfern for more information.
Boat Charter
A 40 foot cruising yacht is available for scenic tours and Port Fitzroy Harbour trips. Gather a group of up to twelve friends and share the cost of boat and skipper hire. Scenic or picnic trips around the harbour are no trouble to arrange to suit your requirements. A day trip to Little Barrier Island is weather dependent and will require a Department of Conservation permit if you are to land.
