***Please be aware that Highway 1 is closed for the foreseeable future near Mangamuka due to massive slips. The fastest way to come up North is via Highway 10 past Kerikeri.***

You need about 5 hrs from Auckland to Ahipara travelling on Highway one.

If you choose to travel from Auckland via Highway 10 and Paihia, allow another 20 minutes for the drive.

Coming up the Westcoast on Highway 12 past the large Kauri trees you need to add a few hours. Its a windy and scenic road. You will be traveling slower with many stops so make sure to leave Auckland in the morning to arrive before 7.00pm when our office closes.

There is a car ferry from Rawene to Kohukohu which we recommend you take. It is a beautiful way to go and will save you about 50km. The ferry leaves every hour on the half hour. Check their webpage for costs and timetable.
