About the Raglan Harbour

With over 140 kms of coastline covering 3185ha in area the Whaingaroa (Raglan harbour) is a nationally recognised conservation area with more than 2 million trees planted over the past decade, a designated bird sanctuary with stunning geologic features ranging from limestone formations overlain by volcanic basalts, clays, black sand dunes and pumice stone.  The skipper and crew are extremely knowledgeable and present our local history.  Relax and be at one with the bird and marine life in their habitat. 

Whaingaroa (Raglan) Harbour is an important habitat for resident, rare and threatened, and international migratory bird species. The critically endangered Maui’s Dolphin has been recorded in Raglan Harbour.

About the Wahinemoe

“Wahinemoe” – Maori for Resting Lady and named after our resident volcanoe Karioi– Is a purpose built 14 x 4.8m catamaran with all the comforts of an entertainer’s dream boat. For Scenic Harbour Cruises and Functions Wahinemoe and her experienced local crew deliver an unprecedented safe and relaxing tour.  Extremely stable and maneuverable in the shallows make it easy to access many of the harbours’ hidden bays and gets deep into the upper reaches of  Whaingaroa (Raglan Harbour).


The harbour is a site of cultural significance for Tainui iwi.
