Retrace the old steamer and sailing ship routes from Helensville to Dargaville through the historic Kaipara Harbour aboard our comfortable vessel M.V. Kewpie Too.  During this cruise we can almost reach out and touch the past as we explore beautiful bay's and beaches accessible only by boat.

 

 Day One: Retracing the old steamer and sailing ship routes as we cruise the 66 nautical mile journey through the little travelled waters of the Historic Kaipara Harbour between Helensville and Dargaville.  A comprehensive informative commentary is given as we view idyllic bays, beaches and forgotten river settlements.  We stay overnight at a Hotel or Motel of your choice in Dargaville, (see pdf  options  page 4). Dinner tonight is provided at the Northern Wairoa Boating Club, over looking the Northern Wairoa River.

​

Day Two:  Today we travel by coach from Dargaville along the Pouto Peninsula to the old marine station at Pouto Point to re-board Kewpie Too for the return journey to Helensville.  We also include a visit to the Northern Wairoa Museum to examine the early shipwreck's, kauri and the gum diggers of the Kaipara.
