The Cape and 90 Mile Beach Tour

The journey takes you along the coastal road heading to 90 Mile Beach and Cape Reinga.
90 Mile Beach is located on the far northwestern coast of New Zealand’s North Island and is a breathtaking stretch of coastline renowned for its vast, sweeping sands and dramatic ocean dunes.

Officially a public highway, this legendary beach offers adventurous travellers a unique driving experience alongside spectacular surf breaks and stunning sunsets over the Tasman Sea.

We enter the beach at the southern end and drive for approximately 15 kilometres (10 miles) there are ample opportunities to walk the beach and experience the sheer expanse of this well-known tourist destination.

Passengers may also get the opportunity to see the wild horses (not guaranteed) set free by the European settlers in the late eighteen hundreds.

On to the famous Cape Reinga, where the two oceans collide. Walk the path to the lighthouse on the edge of NZ –hear the crashing of the two oceans, the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean in a spectacular swirl of currents, take time to absorb the atmosphere of this place you can almost feel the power.

Cape Reinga offers the ultimate northern New Zealand experience. This is a uniquely spiritual place where according to Maori culture/history the spirits begin their final journey to their ancestral land Hawaiki.

On leaving Cape Reinga we take a short drive south to the immense sand dunes of Te Paki Stream. You can climb to the top, the views are spellbinding, and if you are brave enough grab a sandboard and surf the dunes (not included in price).

This is also where we stop for lunch (included in the price), vegetarian/vegan/gluten free options are available.

Continuing our journey south, we will stop in Houhora for an ice cream or a pie. The huge range of pies (Paua, Seafood, Steak & Oyster to name but three) are reputedly some of the best in the Far North!

In the afternoon we work our way back to Paihia via Mangonui, where you can walk the promenade and time permitting grab a beer in the historic Mangonui Tavern.
