Friendly and super helpful staff. They went to great length for booking a bus to KAITAIA. It was complicated and they explored all options. My grand daughter was very difficult. In the end they found a suitable connection.

The staff were knowledgeable and there were plenty of reasonably priced souvenier gifts to purchase. The I-Site is very centrally located

There is a town map in the window which was very helpful when we arrived late and were looking for our lodgings. Next day they were very helpful in making suggestions and booking our boat trip. Helped us to make the most of our visit.

The ladies were super helpful and informative.
They gladly showed maps and explained what was around to see.
What impressed me most was their genuine desire to assist me without being biased to any one tour provider.
The shop was clean and tidy with many things to look at.

Hello: I arrive via InterCity bus in Whitianga and need to travel to Hahei where I have hotel reservations. What are my options for transportation?

Whitianga, New Zealand
Hello There, We have a passenger ferry that takes you across the river from Whitianga to Ferry Landing at $5 one way and there is a beach bus that can take you to Hahei. Pop into the i-SITE when you get here and we can book you on the bus. The bus goes every 2 hours from 9.15am so there will be a bus at 1.15pm which will be good timing for you. One way on the bus to Hahei is $14. We look forward to meeting you.
