Cape Reinga Day Tour from Paihia

Cape Reinga Day Tour from Paihia: This journey will take you to Cape Reinga, where according to Maori legend, spirits depart on their journey to the homeland – Hawaiki.

Puketi Kauri Forest

On your way, visit the ancient Puketi Kauri Forest, with a 20-minute boardwalk past 1,000-year-old Kauri trees and native bush. Enjoy a BBQ lunch at Houhora (optional extra for $23 per person).

On arrival at Cape Reinga, stand on the northernmost tip of New Zealand and watch the Pacific Ocean collide with the Tasman Sea. Ask your driver guide about planting a native tree at Cape Reinga.

Te Paki Stream

Then take the opportunity to try sandboarding down the massive dunes on boogie boards at Te Paki Stream – try it if you dare!

Ninety Mile Beach

Your journey along the vast and empty Ninety Mile Beach will provide striking contrasts to the busy and populated East Coast. Feel the sand between your toes as you help your driver-guide dig for shellfish (conditions permitting) on Ninety Mile Beach.
