Puketi and Omahuta forest is easily accessible from the Hokianga harbour and the Bay of Islands. You can access Omahuta Kauri Sanctuary from State Highway One. It is signposted a few kilometers south of Mangamuka Bridge. Please drive carefully on Omahuta Sanctuary Road – it is very narrow in places.

Much of the kauri in the Pukekohe stream area has been logged although vigorous new growth is now occurring.
