Ganz nahe an der mysthischen Nordspitze von Neuseeland liegt dieses wundervolle Stück Natur, mit einer Minilagune, welche sich bei Flut mit Salzwasser füllt, bei Ebbe aber leer steht.
Tapotupotu fishing camping nov18
Far north camp site. Just before Cape Reinga.
Prone to big swell, surge and strong offshore currents.
Fishing was very average landbased. Kahawai, mullet, and then sharks at night. One lone large koheru took a surge ride up the creek to our camp site providing fresh fish for dinner one night.
There is a reef in the middle of the beach providing a good left and right break when conditions were good.
Other than that more time was spent looking for golf balls than landing any serious fish.
Music came from a vid 'NZ FPV12 - Kai Iwi Lakes' no other information was available. Just liked the tune so shared it.

Noordereiland, Tapotupotu Beach, Cape Reinga, Te Paki.
“Je moet Cape Reinga hebben bezocht”, zeggen vele mensen. Wij weten nu wel waarom.
De baai van Tapotupotu is qua locatie uniek: de beslotenheid door heuvels en kliffen, het grote verschil tussen eb en vloed en de hoge golven, de rivier die bij vloed als een wildwaterbaan fungeert en de zee instroomt, de kliffen waar je bij eb op kunt klimmen en het zeewater met bulderend geluid op de rotsen kunt gadeslaan, de 200 meter hoge heuvel die uitzicht biedt op de baai en zandduinen.
Bij Cape Reinga is aan de golven duidelijk te zien dat de Tasmanzee en de Zuidelijke Stille Oceaan bij elkaar komen.
De 130 meter hoge duinen van Te Paki zijn fantastisch om op een board met grote snelheid vanaf te surfen.
Kortom: MAGNIFIEK!!
Cape Reinga and Ninety Mile Beach Tours.
Cape Reinga and Ninety Mile Beach Tours.
Kaitaia is the northern most town in New Zealand and the last major stop before heading to the ‘top’ of new Zealand and is a good base from which to enjoy the many activities and attractions there is on offer, from the nearby Karikari Peninsula with its white sandy beaches, the Karikari Estate Winery and the well known Carrington Golf course.
Dune Rider-2To the west of Kaitaia is the coastal village of Ahipara, here you can enjoy golf, sandsurfing, 4WD treks, quad bike riding, Blokarting, fishing from the beach, surfing and diving.
Although named Ninety Mile Beach it is actually only 64 miles long stretching from Ahipara the small coastal village near Kaitaia to almost the top of the North Island.
The best way to appreciate this part of the Far North to Cape Reinga is to travel by plane from the Bay of Islands or with local bus tour operators that offer daily trips departing from The Bay of Islands or Kaitaia. You will learn the history and legends of the region including various points of interest and enjoy a drive along the magnificent sometimes wild west coast of Ninety Mile Beach.
Leaving the Ninety Mile Beach at Te Paki quick sand stream it’s time to try Sand boarding on the giant sand dunes of Te Paki before heading for Cape Reinga, which although it is not quite the furthest northern point of New Zealand its where the road journey ends. Twelve degrees below the Tropic of Capricorn, Cape Reinga thrusts its head north to bask in subtropical sunlight.
Here, under the wind-whipped Cape Reinga lighthouse, the Tasman and Pacific oceans meet, colliding in a fit of fury and spitting salty spray high as they battle for dominance.
Maori believe that at Cape Reinga, “the place of the leaping”, the spirits of the departed leap from an 800-year-old pohutukawa tree on the windswept cape to begin the voyage back to their final resting place in the ancestral homeland of Hawaiki.
Other points of interest are the views down To Cape Maria Van Diemen, and the beautiful beach at stunning Tapotupotu Bay, a sandy beach that is nestled on the eastern side of Cape Reinga. For the tramper there are numerous walks from short or multi day walks staying at Department of Conservation camp sites.
A trip of a lifetime to Cape Reinga
Sea-Doo fishing at Cape Reinga at the tip of the North Island in New Zealand. Fishing for Snapper and Kingfish on the Daiwa Sea-Doo, this was another amazing adventure with Jetskifishing.

From Hamilton to Kaitaia, it takes about a 6-8 hr drive (depending on stopovers of course :D ). This beautiful city is perfect for a summer trip as it has different sceneries such as the smooth sand dunes, bay areas for picnics, the famous Cape Reinga (In Maori beliefs sacred place of the spirits of the recently deceased.) and so much more..

Cape Reinga, New Zealand (Northernmost Part of NZ)
Going there took us more than 5 hours. But the long drive is more than worth it.
Remember guys, travel while we can travel while we`re young.
Live the moment because we cant turn back time.
