At Mangawhai Adventures we welcome back our Auckland visitors! Great to see our little town buzzing with life again. If you are here over New Year's we suggest you visit the New Year's market at the school hall on 31 Dec from 9 - 1 pm. I will be there selling Moon Calendars :) Come and say hello and check out all the local goodies!
Merry Christmas and all the best for a hopefully better 2022!

I am coming out of winter hibernation and I have just updated the Mangawhai Adventures website with new info and pricing for the upcoming 2021/22 summer season - check it out and secure your next Mangawhai Adventure now!
We have a special treat for you as well: If you book by 30 November 2021 you will receive a gift of either a 2022 Moon Calendar or a 2022 Moon Diary (your choice), check them out at www.moonpower.co.nz 

The annual Mangawhai Walking weekend is held on 27th and 28th March 2021. Join local guides and explore the very best of Northland’s coast and bush, with something for everyone from easy strolls to more challenging grades. You can find all the info about the different walks on offer here www.mangawhaiwalking.co.nz and we have also put a Walking Weekend package together which includes 2-nights accommodation at Tui & Nikau and the Mangawhai Wine trail, see under Special offers on our home page.

We have a new stand-alone product for sale for people already staying in the area - The Mangawhai Shopping trail. Mangawhai is a little spread out and does not just have one town center. Due to this fact you will find little shops with a beah & surf vibe all over the place. We have put together a map and info sheet for you which takes you on the Mangawhai shopping trail It includes a half day (5-hour) e-bike hire, pick up from Mangawhai Heads, a map and Chocolate tasting at Bennetts chocolate factory and cafe. $90 per person (min of 2 ). Bookings essential.

I have recently started to volunteer at the Magnawhai Information centre which is staffed by volunteers from our amazing community. Come and check it out and pick up a welcome pack with lots of useful info, maps, a recycle bag and things to do (yes it does also include a brochure of the Mangawhai Adventures Wine trail and Art trail by e-bikes) The Mangawhai Information Centre is located next to the Golf Club. Open 10 - 4 daily over summer.

E-bikes are super popular now, so much so that 3 e-bike hire companies have all started up this year in Mangawhai, these are E-bike hire Mangawhai, Coastal e-bikes and Coast Cycling. I have just recently tried one out for the fist time and I have to admit they are really fun to ride. I have included them in the Mangawhai Art trail package and have also just put together the Mangawhai shopping trail. Contact me for more info on 021-431589

A new surf & Skate shop, called "No Limits" has just recently opened it's doors in a perfect location opposite MAZ skate park. The owners Nicole Seyle and local business man Evan King have done an amazing job transforming an engineering workshop into a modern, warehouse style shop. Nicole who is originally from California, is a surfer herself and Umberto Skinner, the skate manager is a pro skater. After opening only a couple weeks ago, the shop already proofs to be popular with the Mangawhai youth. Check it out next time you go past or here https://nolimitssurfandskate.co.nz/

We have some pretty amazing and inspirational people living in our little town. I would like to start this series by introducing you to Jules Bright from Earth's Kitchen. She gained triple diplomas in Naturopathy, Body Therapy and Medical Herbalism and spent 18 yeast on developing and perfecting the world’s 1st BioGro (Natrue) certified natural sunscreen SPF50 which has now gained international recognition. I have tried it a couple years ago for myself and my family and I will never use anything else again! It works really well, smells good, is invisible and it helps save the worlds coral reefs which are suffering greatly from chemical sunscreens. For more info have a look at https://ekskincare.com/pages/our-story​ and you can usually find Jules at the Mangawhai Tavern Market to try it our for yourself.
