The main road is good, there are a few windy areas but nothing out of the ordinary for Northland & Far North anyway. The coastal road into to Whangaroa itself does get a little windy as its a side road off SH10, but it's only for a short distance into Whangaroa.
and the members might also know if there are any small charter companies who operate closer to where you will be based.
If none of the above know of any, then there are probably no trips/tours that run from there and you should probably take the $170 one or one from Paihia or Russell.

day sailing from Mangonui
We'd like to do a day sailing trip in the bay of islands. The only ones I have found are from Paihia or Russell. We will be staying in Mangonui so would prefer to leave from there. Anyone know of a company doing that from Mangonui?1
Any good? Havent looked at what it is so might be totally the wrong thing.6
Opua is just south of Paihia. I think lagoon is referring to those sailing trips that you mentioned that leave from Bay of Islands.7
Whangaroa harbour is 30 minutes drive south of Mangonui, so not as far away as the Bay of Islands is from Mangonui.The main road is good, there are a few windy areas but nothing out of the ordinary for Northland & Far North anyway. The coastal road into to Whangaroa itself does get a little windy as its a side road off SH10, but it's only for a short distance into Whangaroa.

How much time do you have to organise? BX you could try posting on the forum at crew.org.nz and see if there are any local sailors in that area who might be up for some volunteer crew, especially if they brought their own beer and wine with them ;-)and the members might also know if there are any small charter companies who operate closer to where you will be based.

Come to NZ via Ireland where you should kiss the blarney stone and then blag your way onto a random stranger's yacht in Mangonui???If none of the above know of any, then there are probably no trips/tours that run from there and you should probably take the $170 one or one from Paihia or Russell.

Yeah maybe one night in Paihia or Russel do the sail and spend the next 4 nights in Mangonui. How long does it take to drive from Paihia to Mangonui. Any accom. suggestions? Nice beach nearby to swim in? We'll have a car.
