Golf Transport & Tours: Mangawhai, Waipu & Te Arai Links

Golf group transport in Mangawhai, Waipu and Te Arai Links

Heading north for a golf trip? Mangawhai Shuttles is a locally owned and operated transport service based in Mangawhai, looking after golf groups visiting Mangawhai, Waipu, Te Arai Links and the surrounding Northland coast. We pick you up, get you and your clubs to the first tee, and bring you home afterwards, so nobody needs to be the designated driver.

Golf courses we service

  • Te Arai Links
  • Mangawhai Golf Club
  • Waipu Golf Club
  • Wellsford Golf Course
  • Kauri Cliffs

Visiting more than one course? We can link them in a single day or across a multi-day trip. Tell us your tee times and we will build the transport around them.

What we offer golf groups

  • Airport transfers: straight from Auckland Airport to your accommodation or to Te Arai Links, with room for clubs and luggage. See our Auckland Airport and Te Arai Links transfer prices.
  • Accommodation to course transfers: return trips between Mangawhai, Waipu, Langs Beach and your course.
  • Early morning pick ups to suit early tee times.
  • Evening transfers to the Mangawhai Tavern and local restaurants and wineries after your round.
  • Hourly hire for longer days, multi-course itineraries or custom plans.

Our vehicles

  • SUV (2026 Nissan X-Trail): recommended for 1 to 2 passengers with luggage and golf bags
  • Mini van (2026 Ford Custom Tourneo): recommended for 2 to 6 passengers
  • Large van (Renault Master): seats up to 11 and recommended for larger groups

Bigger groups are no problem. We can send multiple vehicles to pick up and drop off at the same time. Let us know your group size and how many golf bags you have and we will recommend the right vehicle.

Beyond the golf

Make the most of a golf trip with a day out between rounds. We run day trips and stops to Matakana Village, Brick Bay, Goat Island, horse riding in Waipu and the Waipu Caves glow worms, as well as Mangawhai wineries and restaurants.

Tour operators and golf tour companies

We work with tour operators and golf tour companies bringing groups to Northland. If you run inbound golf tours, we can be your local ground transport partner, with reliable pick ups, multiple vehicles for larger groups and local knowledge of the courses and the area. Invoicing and account options are available for tour operators and repeat clients. Get in touch to talk through your itinerary and group sizes.
