Whangarei is New Zealand’s northernmost city. The climate of the city is sub-tropical. Winters are mild, and summers are warm and humid. This makes the city a great place to visit at any time of the year. More than 100 bays and beaches are found on the city’s long coastline. Nearby are some terrestrial and marine reserves famous for their native flora and fauna and unusual aquatic and reptilian species. On the way to these islands, it is quite normal to encounter dolphins, surfacing schools of fish, sea birds, and, if you’re lucky, a pod of whales.

Favoured activities along the beaches include swimming, board-riding, snorkelling, kayaking, and body surfing. There are also designated areas for fishing, diving, and sightseeing. Nature and art typically go hand in hand here. If the city boasts beautiful natural attractions, it also boasts a good number of skilled artisans and contemporary galleries. Artisan Fairs are a popular event, especially during the summer. These are characterized by gatherings of artists and craft enthusiasts. All sorts of art classes are held in the many galleries distributed around the city.
