Enjoy a scenic day exploring the beauty and birdlife of the Hauraki Plains. We begin with morning tea at a cosy café before discovering local history at the Manawaru Heritage Centre. After a relaxed lunch in Ngatea, the highlight of the day awaits at the Pūkorokoro Miranda Shorebird Centre. Join a guided tour through the Robert Findlay Wildlife Reserve and discover the fascinating world of shorebirds and their remarkable migrations. Learn about the ecology, geology, and conservation efforts that make this area internationally renowned. Today the tide is perfect for bird-watching, offering an exceptional chance to see thousands of shorebirds feeding and roosting along the coast. We wander the coastal trails, take in the sweeping views, and immerse ourselves in the wonders of this unique environment before returning to Tauranga, inspired by the natural beauty of the day.
