According to the prestigious National Geographic Traveler, our very own Tutukaka Coast has been named the second best coastline in the world! There is no doubt this fantastic acheivement will benefit the district. Local tourism operators say money could not buy the kudos given Tutukaka Coast by the magazines findings.

“The biggest message to take from Traveler’s high ranking is its confidence in the sustainability of this destination” says Jeroen Jongejans, Whangarei District Council member and co-owner and founder of Dive! Tutukaka. “We need everyone to be more aware of the jewel we have and the potential to create an exciting and sustainable economy based on it”
