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.

Auckland To Cape Reinga
Had such a good time catching up with Ryan in Auckland and exploring the city, we got up to so much in the city from exploring the CBD to checking out all the sweet coffee spots and then snowboarding in the evening. I then headed off from Auckland, up north to the bay of islands and cape Reinga.There was so many little walks and things to do up here and the weather was also so nice.

Sandboarding on 90-Mile Beach in New Zealand
Here's a video of Justin sandboarding down the dunes near Te Paki stream on 90-Mile Beach through our Sand Safari Tour.
The Journey to the North - Cape Reinga and Ninety Mile Beach
Leaving Pihua at the Bay Of Islands we head North. We first stopped at the forest, before making our way up to the Cape. We passed through several small towns, before arriving at the Cape Reinga. New Zealand most Northerly point and where the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean meet. The view was amazing and was a great place to start the journey through New Zealand.
Next stop was the Sand Dunes at Stream, where we did sand boarding, racing down the dunes, having to much fun. Finally we drove down the famous 90 mile beach, which in face is only 55 miles. Great day, great views and great fun!
