Took a tour around the coast near Paihia in our bus, called off at Waitangi Treaty Grounds, took a short hike up a mountain then called off at Haruru Falls on the way back to Paihia. Haruru falls and Niagara are the only horseshoe falls in the world tho one is a little bigger than the other.

Took a boat trip out through the bay of islands whilst keeping an eye out for dolphins to have a swim with. Found a few of them who where sleeping at first but they woke after a while and done a few jumps and tricks. Couldnt swim with them as they were too close to the rocky shore so maybe another time. The boat took us out to the 'hole in the rock' which we could have sailed through if the water was a bit calmer. On the way back through the islands we spotted another dolphin carrying about another baby dead dolphin - thats what they do with them when they die for a few weeks. Back ashore we hopped into campervan again and headed north west, real handy not having to stick to any bus timetables or not worry about finding somewhere to sleep for the night.
