Programme

Friday Date to be confirmed
Make your own way to Omapere on the shores of the Hokianga Harbour and check into the Copthorne Hotel Hokianga.

Spend the remainder of the day at leisure on your  own arrangements. 

Hokianga harbour remains a relatively untouched land of contrasts, from lush kauri forests, sun-burnt sand dunes and calm harbour waters to surf breaks on the sandbar and its own subtropical microclimate - a haven with a special beauty and spirit of its own.

Dinner is by own arrangement this evening


Saturday Date to be confirmed
Full breakfast is included this morning at your hotel.

9am – 4pm   Full Day Art Workshop with Richard & Diana to be held at the hotel.    

The remainder of your day is free to spend at leisure. 

This evening you may wish to join Footprints Waipoua for an optional Twilight Encounter Tour.  Setting out from the hotel by coach at 5.00pm, your Maori guide will brief you on the protocols for your visit to the mighty Waipoua Forest. Stepping into our special world you will be walking under the same stars that guided our ancestor Kupe from legendary Hawaiiki to New Zealand. On the paths of the forest we meet trees that were already giants before his arrival and that were standing before the birth of Christ.  Your Maori guides will relate stories and legends of the forest, of its gods, and other spiritual inhabitants. They will greet the giant trees with spine-tingling waiata (sacred chants). You will learn how Maori used plants for medicinal purposes.  Deep in the forest among the towering trees and surrounded by the sounds of the nocturnal creatures awakening, you will meet Te Matua Ngahere - 'The Father of the Forest'. At between 3000 and 4000 years old he is the oldest known kauri tree in the world. Your guide will greet this giant as an old friend.  The highlight of the tour will be your meeting with 'The Lord of the Forest' - the giant Tane Mahuta!  At the conclusion of this unique encounter you will be returned to your accommodation in the Hokianga at approx. 9.00pm

Lunch and dinner are by own arrangement today.
