Omapere, Opononi, and Hokianga

After Waipoua, I visited Omapere on the Hokianga Harbor, which is onthe west coast of Northland. The biggest sites here are The Dunes, where you can go sandboarding, and the Opo museum, where you can learn about Opo the Friendly Dolphin. Beyond that, it is a beautiful and relaxing spot. Originally, I intended to pass straight through, but I missed my bus and was forced to stay here, which turned out to be great fortune.
