Cruise passengers have been delighted by the range of activities on offer in and around Whangārei and local businesses have declared the 2024 ‘mini’ cruise season, spanning February and March, a success.

It's a beautiful day here at Marsden Point and pretty much right across Northland.

Sharp-eyed observers of activity at Northport may have picked up a temporary addition to the eastern end of our tug jetty recently.

Repairs to road and rail links connecting Northland with Auckland scheduled for this year mean that we expect container traffic at Northport to reach, and exceed, previous levels.

As we posted a few weeks ago, cruise ships are coming to Whangarei from early February. At last! We’re excited and there’s a real buzz about this around town.
