Hicks Bay is a bay on the Pacific coast in the region Gisborne.
Regions

places
Just east of Hicks Bay isTe Araroa at the Kawakawa Bay, the place is mainly known for a roughly 600 year old giant Pōhutukawa tree.
Other goals
The East Cape is the most easterly point of New Zealand. It can be reached from Te Araroa on a narrow path along the coast. Directly at the cape there is a lighthouse on a 150 m high cliff. To get to it, you have to walk through private farmland and climb about 700 steps.
