Day 21 Dargaville to Omapere (83 km)

Day 21

Day 21

The Kauri Forests of Northland!



Through the forests



In what has been the most picturesque ride since leaving the south island, our little group rolled over the hills of the Waipoua forest into the hamlet of Omapere on the glorious Hokianga Harbour. The skies were overcast with heavy cloud but no rain as the group left Dargaville. A tailwind provided good riding conditions and the narrow, quiet road through the temperate forest provided over 50 km of superb scenery. The series of climbs were challenging and ensured there was nothing left in the legs at day’s end.



The glorious Hokianga Harbour



Tonight’s accommodation is in a four bedroom house overlooking the entire harbour. The views are really something.



Large Kaui Tree



To top off a great day, we had time for a little sightseeing at the Kauri forest.
