Dewali Celebrations and labour weekend is just around the corner

Happy Diwali friends, Near and far.

Diwali celebrations are almost in full swing all over the world. Check out what is happening in Auckland on October 11-12th Auckland diwali festival This is a time to get together with friends and family, enjoy good food and spend some quality time together. Or maybe pop in to the Bay of Islands for some fun family activities.

The Waitangi mountainbike park opened their NEW Jump park the other week and it looks absolutely EPIC. Follow them on social for the latest trail updates etc. Jump park It is just such an amazing Mountain bike park for young and old, non experience and the very experienced. From pump tracks for balance bikes to black rides. Of course their cafe on site is for the mandatory coffy/fluffy/snack in between rides.

All boat tours are back operating full scedules as well so for a well earned sail on a bean bag check out the guys with barefoot sailing adventures

Or the guys at Island getaway for cruises out to the Hole in the Rock, Dolphin tours or Island shuttles.

Defenitely head out on a cruise or Kayak trip when the weather is good. On rain days I like to spend a couple of days at the marvellous Waitangi Treaty Grounds the museum and grounds are out of this world. Or pop over to Russell and visit Christ Church, Long Beach, The Duke of Marlborough, (NZ’s first Pub, and epic pirate stories) For a nice cold one along the Russell waterfront or any other amazing little cafe’s and shops.

Omata Estate vine yard is absolutely stunnning for events such as weddings, birthday celebrations or just a catch up with friends over a lovely platter and cold Rose.

Maybe take a Kayak and cruise up the Waitangi river to Haruru water fall with BOI Cruise & Kayak

There are so many increadible Restaurants, Pubs and Hotels in the Bay of Islands so defenitely sneak in a bit of a get away before the crazy season hits.

Our world famous Hole in the Rock is a must on your bucket list while visiting.

Hope to see you all out there…and stay safe on the roads for the long weekends ahead.

 

Much Aroha
