River, Beaches and More

Boat Ramps and Fishing  To get out amongst the fishing grounds in the Bay of Islands we have three first class boat ramps for launching within 15 minutes from us. The first only 5 minutes from the Park. The Bay of Islands is not only renowned for its big game fish, but also good catches of kingfish, hapuka, snapper, trevally and kahawai. So you don't have a boat but would love to go fishing?!!!! Thats O.K. we know  two excellent charter operators that we can book you with. Nearby Beaches Some of New Zealand's most photographed beaches and bays are just a short drive from from Kerikeri Top 10 Holiday Park. Opito Bay is a lovely safe beach just 15 minutes away.  A short walk from Opito Bay will take you to Ake Ake Point, where beautiful views right over the Bay of Islands await you. Matauri Bay is a stunning beach about 30 minutes drive from from Kerikeri Top 10 Holiday Park. Matauri Bay is renowned for world-class diving opportunities, including exploring the wreck of the Greenpeace flagship, the Rainbow Warrior. Te Ngaere Bay, close to Matauri Bay, is a family favourite and a nice safe beach. Pack your sunscreen and stay the whole day. Takou Bay is a beautiful surf beach that very few tourists know about - and we'd prefer it's kept that way, so we won't give you the directions until you arrive here! Just 25 minutes from from Kerikeri Top 10 Holiday Park, Takou Bay is a real slice of paradise.

Puketotara River The Puketotara River is an awesome place to sit and chill out, go swimming, or use our free kayaks and dinghies and paddle up and down the river. There's also some really awesome swimming holes if you take a short wander upstream a bit. Rainbow Falls Nestled in lush native bush, is Rainbow Falls, a spectacular 27 metre high waterfall. Take a 10 minute stroll to these beautiful falls or head off for the longer, but far more scenic, 1 to 2 hour walk up the Kerikeri River. You'll be rewarded with some magnificent views.
