Due to issues with damage to the vulnerable ecosystem at the Matapouri Mermaid Pools on the Tutukaka Coast a decision has been made to close the pathway and the pools until a better alternative is put in place for managing the visitor numbers and ensuring the protection of this amazing area.
Please click here to read more about this decision to close the Mermaid Pools.
We hope that all visitors to the Tutukaka Coast will respect this decision so that we can preserve our taonga for future generations to come.
Visitors to the Tutukaka Coast are still welcome to visit any of our stunning world class beaches or walkways during their time in Northland. There is plenty more to see and do on the Tutukaka Coast!
