Rangitoto Island Day Trip Auckland
For a great day out in Auckland check out Rangitoto Island. I have to be honest, this was my 3rd time up to the Summit of Rangitoto Island. Last weekend I met up with family in Auckland and we decided for a fun day out to catch the Ferry to Rangitoto Island and then climb to the top of the summit for lunch. Catch the Ferry from Devenport or Downtown Auckland We travelled into downtown Auckland and caught the Ferry from the wharf in the city. It was quite busy. Being the school holidays and such a nice day, many others had the same idea. Once the ferry was loaded…

Goat Island Marine Reserve Day Trip From Auckland
Goat Island Marine Reserve The first Marine Reserve in NZ Goat Island Marine Reserve is within a 90 min drive North of Auckland Central. The perfect day trip, at which you can walk, swim, kayak and snorkel or dive. Take a picnic and have lunch on the bank overlooking the reserve. On a nice day, you need to get there early to secure a close park. During the summer there is usually see-through kayaks to hire and a glass-bottom boat that you can go out on if you do not wish to get your feet wet. There is a shop that you can hire snorkel gear from located just before…

You can easily grab a Ferry from Sandspit and it only takes about 20 mins across, give or take depending on scheduled stops in the many scenic bays along the way. Many…

Hauraki Gulf Islands a Scenic Image NZ
This post is all about sharing my scenic images of the Hauraki Gulf. This is a good chance to bring my images into one post. These photos were all taken on day trips or overnight camps in the Hauraki Gulf. There are many Islands in the Hauraki Gulf, some I have been to, some you can not land on and others I hope to visit on a later date. Motuora Island is amazing and I was so lucky to get the opportunity to camp for 2 nights there. A great place to swim, walk and kayak in between just relaxing in the sand. Kawau Island One of my favourite day…

This blog is where you will find an Ocean Image, a coastal experience and a great place to check out some North Island NZ beaches. What’s New? Lockdown I have not had the camera out or been to the beach since lockdown began. The beach although close is too far for the distance that we have been allowed to travel. It has been ok for me. Being stuck at home has never been an issue. I dusted off the paintbrushes and got into some painting. I have also had fun playing around with some free graphic software and tried my hand at designing T-Shirts. Lockdown Posts Most Popular Posts Here…
