Te Puia Geothermal Park
Geyser experience fascinating as was bubbling mud and Maori buildings and crafts.
However, it was rather an expensive experience and very crowded.

Museum of New Zealand
What a fantastic museum.
We paid two visits and only saw about half of the exhibits. Everything is well displayed so you learn a lot. There is also free WIFI!!!

United Campervans
The van was booked 12 months ago, and confirmed 4 weeks and 1 week before arrival, but on collection they did not have the van we booked.
Also no NZ mobile phone, paid for in advance. 40km down the road the oil light came on so had to go to garage to sort!!!

Excellent guide who was witty and informative.
You see the earthquake protection of the buildings and go into the chamber. We shared a lift with the speaker!

Whangarei Museum and Kiwi House
Good to actually see a kiwi.
The museum gave insight into the history of Whangarei but it was raining too hard for us to explore the outside exhibits.
