This is the only place you will see the Bay of Islands from land. It is a 1 min drive from Russell. If you drive up & over Flag Staff Hill you come to Tapeka Point. From there you can turn right into Du Fresne Place & then left up the hill to the end of the road. You will see a small Department of Conservation sign. This will lead you to the walking track & it is a 10-15 min walk to the top. From the top you can see from Nine Pin to Cape Brett. Spectacular! You may even see dolphins from up there.

For the best views of the point take the Tapeka Track, a narrow grassy track, steep in places that take you across a number of what were once defensive ditches to the end of Tapeka Peninsula and the top-most part of Tapeka Pa itself.
