Photo: Omapere Hokianga Harbour New Zealand

The small town of Omapere rests along the beautiful shores of Hokianga Harbour on the North Island of New Zealand.

Looking down from the cliff on Hokianga Harbour, you can see to the bottom of the water where unique land formations camouflage themselves in the azure colored waters off the North Island of New Zealand. Across the harbour, the small town of Omapere sits peacefully along the coastline surrounded by the green hillsides.

Omapere is a very popular location for tourists as the natural harbour and the tranquility that surrounds this part of the North Island of New Zealand is priceless. From the town, you can walk along the beach until you reach the entrance to Hokianga Harbour which can be fascinating at high tide when water shoots straight up from a blowhole.

This area is a world filled with natural beauty where kauri forests flourish, calm harbour waters settle in and history and culture relating to the Maori and European people thrives.
