Bicheno is famous for its Red Bill Bay surf-spot, the laid back lifestyle and the Fairy (little) Penguins. Like most of the small towns on the east coast it is a great spot to stop on your journey.
There are a lot of different things to see and do in the Bicheno area. You can go scuba diving or view the coast from a sea kayak, go on a guided tour and learn about the area from a local or try your hand at wakeboarding, just some of the things you can do in the water. On dry land, one of the most famous walks is along the sandbar to Diamond Island Nature Reserve and the Penguin tours.
The blowhole is spectacular when there are some bigger seas, and while many tourists head out to the rock next to the blowhole to get nice and close to the action, you must make sure you do not follow people blindly - watch from a distance first, make sure you feel safe and be sure that there are no large sets of waves, which can wash you off the rocks in seconds
