when to visit Karatu

The dry seasons (June to October and December to February) are generally considered the best times to visit Karatu for wildlife viewing and outdoor activities, as the weather is more favorable and animals are easier to spot. The wet season (March to May and November) offers lush landscapes and fewer crowds, but some roads may be challenging.
