Hicks Bay, named for a crew member of Captain Cook's Endeavour, is also known as Wharekahika and has
numerous historic pa sites, some with excavated fortifications in varying states of preservation and
differing greatly in size. During the Hauhau uprising of the 1860s, several of the pa sites on
Matakaoa Point were modified for gun fighting. Fishing is the thing to do at Hicks Bay - beach,
boat, rock and scuba fishing, around the many rocky ledges. Horse riding is another option. Hicks
