Motu Kaikoura, formerly known as Selwyn Island, lies in an irregularly-shaped bay on the western side of Great Barrier Island roughly 90km northeast of Auckland. The area is home to the endangered brown teal duck, the north island kaka, and many native trees and shrubs, so take nothing but memories and leave nothing but footprints.
Directions: You're almost there, depart Motu Kaikoura and head west to fly around Te Hauturu-o-Toi (aka Little Barrier Island) where you'll turn northwest towards Bream Bay (aim for the MAR waypoint if you want a navaid). Follow the water into the Whangarei Airport.
