Travel Guide

Coca Cola lake. 
It is pretty cool. From a foot away it looks like an ordinary blue lake. But when you go closer, it changes to look like a rainbow. But that's not all: it smells and tastes like Coca Cola! Some of the road to it is unsealed though
Nice wee secluded bay we came across whilst on our way to the lovely Paraawanui Trek
Welcome to Karikari Beach on the beautiful Peninsula in the Far North! You can easily see why I love coming home to this paradise.

This little gem is an isolated beach which you can access from two walkways. 
On the day this photo was taken, we'd done a small trek through farmland onto the beach and followed it close to the end of the Southern side of the beach, where you will find the beautiful Puheke Mountain. On our way back, we were lucky enough to be entertained by a pod of around 13 dolphins who were enjoying the warm waters. 

We are truly blessed to have so many stunning beaches on Karikari Peninsula, the only difficult choice is where to go!
