It is the first Port of Entry for overseas vessels into New Zealand's waters.
Many visitors spend most of their time in New Zealand just cruising the many islands in the area.
There is always a sheltered and secluded bay to explore and relax while fishing or diving for dinner. Vessels in excess of 500 gross tons must also arrange a Pilot and Opua Marina will be pleased to act on your behalf, provided sufficient notice is given. The Opua Marina's parent company Far North Holdings Ltd. who provide local customs and quarantine facilities at Opua, are pleased to announce that there is currently no costs involved with the disposal of waste. Once your vessel is secure and any Customs formalities have been carried out, we welcome you to join us at the Marina Office to complete a short rental form and to get acquainted with our policies. The Marina staff will do all they can to ensure you have a memorable stay in New Zealand.
