Coast to Coast
Travel through Kumeu and Huapai wine growing areas to Muriwai Beach on the rugged west coast. On the cliff tops overlooking the beach, take a short walk through the native plants to the lookout point to the gannet colony, one of only two mainland gannet colonies in the world. Depending upon the season, you may be able to view the birds’ nesting and feeding routines, and their spectacular diving technique as they hunt for fish.
Travel through rural farming districts to Haumoana Farm, a 200-acre holding on the South Kaipara Peninsula. The farm runs 300 Romney sheep for prime lamb and wool production, 200 cattle and a small fallow deer unit. After a warm welcome by your hosts, Greg and Barbara Ross, see the mustering of sheep by trained sheep dogs, a skilled shearing demonstration, along with other typical farm activities.
Return through the Waitoki and Dairy Flat farming areas.
