Whangarei District Essentials
The Whangarei District features a diverse landscape shaped by volcanic activity and coastal erosion. Highlights include the 26-meter Whangārei Falls and the limestone formations of Waipu Caves, which house a significant glowworm population. Cultural landmarks include the Claphams Clock Museum, containing over 2,100 timepieces, and the historic Maori pa site at Mt Parihaka. The region’s coastline is defined by the 420-meter volcanic peaks of Mt Manaia and the white sand beaches of Whale Bay.
