At the very top of the North Island of New Zealand, there is an oasis of unrivalled beauty – Cape Reinga (Te Rerenga Wairua in Māori). This amazingly scenic area is a must-see for those who want to experience the wonder of Māori tradition and culture, as well as for those who just want a great, fun-filled day.

Setting off from Paihia, your first stop takes you in to the gorgeous Puketi Kauri Forest. The ancient, 2,000 year-old giant kauri trees stand majestic against the forest backdrop.

The climb up to the iconic Cape Reinga Lighthouse allows you to view the tremendously powerful waves below you, as the Pacific Ocean and Tasman Sea collide. Enjoy your lunch while gazing out at Taputaputa Bay before entertaining yourself with some cricket, rugby, Frisbee or just enjoy relaxing after your meal. Heading along Te Paki Stream, you encounter the mammoth sand dunes that the area is popular for; and what are sand dunes good for? Sand boarding of course! The effort of walking up the huge sand dunes is well rewarded by the fast, fun-filled journey back down on your provided board. Simply awesome!

Driving along the almost untouched 90-mile beach makes you feel as though you are exploring a deserted tropical island!  As the sun starts to fade, you can enjoy a world-famous meal of fish and chips overlooking the sparkling water at Mangonui.

Child rates for 5-14 year olds.  Under 5s are free of charge.
