Day Trip to Cape Reinga - departs Ahipara

Two of the biggest must-sees of New Zealand - Cape Reinga, the Northern-most tip and 90 Mile Beach (actually about 60 miles long).

Thi day trip departs from Ahipara and involves a bus journey up the full length of Ninety Mile Beach, stopping to see the rugged views of the West Coast. You will get to go Sand Boarding at the Giant Sand Dunes of Te Paki, drive up the infamous quicksand stream, and head up to Cape Reinga where you will walk to The Lighthouse and take in the panoramic views of where the Tasman meets the Pacific.

Lunch, (which is provided), is at the picturesque Tapotupotu Bay where, if time allows, you will be able to take a quick dip. The way home takes in the East Coast and Rarawa Beach, the white silica sand beach. One of the highlights is the guided tour of the Gumdiggers Park - well worth the visit! You will end the day at the Kauri Kingdom and then back to your accommodation at approx 5pm.

NB. This activity is only available on our 6 day Subtropical Far North tour.
