Sightseeing

Best to book a Water Safari and experience this... They will take you around different sights around the Whitianga area by boat.. Ocean Leopard tours is popular, but there are plenty of others too. http://www.oceanleopardtours.co.nz/

Drinks & Nightlife

Every Friday night without fail, beers and food for the locals from 5pm. Food isn't fancy - its not meant to be - but all proceeds go to the local brigade to assist with funding through out the year.
