Themes, ideas for conferences

Got to entertain some go-getting salespeople who’ve seen and done it all before?

Wake them up after breakfast with some boogy boarding down the stunning sand-dunes of the Hokianga – guaranteed to put a smile on your dial, get the heart rate going and bring out that competitive spirit. Fancy some crayfish for dinner - you can’t get a fresher than the crayfish at the resort hotel in Hokianga where they have their own quota. Take a walk through the Waipoua Forest to see the magnificent giant Kauri Trees – this can be a cultural and eco experience and can be done during the day – but a night tour is something even more special and just think of all the themes that could be brought in for “reaching heights” etc.

Sail on a tall ship

Got a mixed group of ages and types who just want to have some fun?

The beauty of the Bay of Islands is not just in the fantastic views, it’s in the fact that there is just so much to see and do. What about a cruise around the 144 islands in a luxury catamaran – visit the Hole in the Rock, look for dolphins, have a picnic or party on one of the islands or get hands-on with some sailing on a tall ship.

Whalers and Wenches – Welcome to the Hellhole of the Pacific

What about a themed party in the “Hell Hole of the Pacific” – Romantic Russell as it used to be in the times of whalers and wenches.

Need to organize an Incentive Trip somewhere Special but DIFFERENT

At last, Northland’s hidden treasures are revealed – boutique lodges and luxurious villas in unspoiled locations. Massage & beauty treatments in luxury lodges in Langs Cove, Doubtless Bay or Russell. Taste tours will see you drooling over organic cheeses and hand made confectionery in Kerikeri, sample Northland wines in the stunning Karikari Peninsula followed by a round of golf and accommodation in a luxury villa on the 900 acre estate.

Heart pumping fun on the dunes.

Want to do something really energetic?

What about match-racing on the fastest commercial sailing cat in New Zealand? Fishing doesn’t sound too energetic? – have you ever wrestled with a marlin or a kingfish before? Quad biking over rocky streams, navigating rugged bush tracks and extreme slopes...

Are your delegates into Brains not Brawn?

What about a spot of culture or an educational slant? Northland is the Birthplace of a Nation. The Waitangi National Trust offers you an interesting and informative look into our past and our present. Begin your meeting with a Powhiri (Maori welcome) and be welcomed in friendship. Be entertained by Maori performers and learn more about the Treaty of Waitangi with your delegates.
