Hello everyone!
I am at Tawharanui Regional Park
about 1 hour and 15 minutes driving from Aukland city center.
Initially, when I searched for the way
the map showed that it took about 1 hour 45 minutes
but in fact, it just took me 1 hour and 15 minutes to reach here.
With the remaining 30 minutes, it may show for
going to the end of this park because this park is very big.
When I went in here, I saw there was an automatic door.
At first I thought it was closed, but it was just an automatic door
to prevent the birds or wildlife here from going out.
The first thing I see here is a lot of surfers.
It's so cold that everyone comes here to surf.
The waves here are huge and windy.
I have not still gone to the whole of this park because it is so big.
I have just filmed the flycam on this side.
I feel the other sides like islands because of its width.
It's so wide, I will try to find out
if there is anything interesting that I can film here or not.
I've been immersed in its beauty here for a while.
I will continue to my video to show you how beautiful it is.
I think this area is only suitable for going sightseeing
or for those who would love to surf.
But I don't think it is suitable for going swimming because of the strong wind and waves.
Tawharanui National Park is considered one of the most secret places in the Northern of Auckland.
This is a sanctuary for rare and precious birds of New Zealand.
Used to be a large private farm, Tawharanui Park is located at the end of the peninsula extending into the Pacific Ocean in the Northern of Kawau Island.
The park is about 80km far from Auckland city center and 80 minutes driving.
It is forbidden to going fishing here, but we can go swimming, surfing, walking and going for a picnic instead.
This sandy beach is considered one of the best destinations for swimming and surfing in the Auckland area.
There are areas on the beach shaded with Pohutukawa trees (the symbolic tree of NZ),
which are hailed as a paradise for picnic.
Today I take you to Tawharanui Regional Park.
This is the first time I have been here. This is an extremely large park.
I drive from automatic door
about 5-10 minutes to reach “You are here” area here.
I have not explored which area is beautiful around here yet.
A worthy place to go.
I will use the flycam to discover beautiful landscape at first!
There is an ecological trail that starts on the far side of the beach
beyond the protected breeding grounds of the rare Dotterel birds in New Zealand.
The trail runs along a round rocky beach
before climbing over farmland to a valley of beautiful primeval forests.
There are a number of hiking trails in the area
where you will have a panoramic view from above to the end of the peninsula.
You can contact the Auckland Regional Council to reserve a campsite in a specific area of the National Park in advance.
To get to Tawharanui, you should follow Highway 1 to Warkworth, the direction to Matakana.
After passing by Matakana, turn right at Omaha Road, drive along Takatu Road, follow the signs to Tawharanui Park.
When you reach the park area, let’s go to Anchor Bay to park your car.
Remember to wear sport shoes, warm clothing, swimwear, snorkel, sun protection jacket, sun hat, food and drink.
New Zealand is endowed with a lot of natural beauty.
If you are in NZ, try to explore places that you like as soon as possible!
