Wildlife Area Attractions In Whangarei

  • 1. Poor Knights Island Marine Reserve Whangarei
    The Poor Knights Islands are a group of islands off the east coast of the Northland Region of the North Island of New Zealand. They lie 50 kilometres to the north-east of Whangarei, and 22 kilometres offshore halfway between Bream Head and Cape Brett. Uninhabited since the 1820s, they are a nature reserve and popular underwater diving spot, with boat tours typically departing from Tutukaka. The Poor Knights Islands Marine Reserve surrounds the island. Beaglehole comments that the origin of the island name is not clear, and speculates that the name could be related to the Poor Knights of Windsor, or, that the islands were named for their resemblance to Poor Knight's Pudding, a bread-based dish topped with egg and fried, popular at the time of discovery by Europeans.

    Whangarei Harbour is a large harbour on the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand. The harbour stretches from Whangarei City, and the termination of the Hātea River, south east around the Onerahi peninsula and out to the Pacific Ocean at Whangarei Heads. Its name means Whangarei-te-rerenga-parāoa, the place where whales gather in Maori language, named by Ngāti Wai. Another traditional name for this area is Whangarei-o-te-tohorā - waiting for the breastbone of whales.
