We had a great day on the bus trip up to Cape Reinga. Barry, our driver was informative, helpful, attentive (particularly of my 80 year old friend) and amusing. The sand surfing was fun and it's a shame we couldn't go further up 90 mile beach - but no-one can be held responsible for the effects of cyclones.

Fantastic. Started with wonderful booking staff. Then driver weather and experience. Worth the cost of a ticket

Full description

Learn more about Māori traditions at Cape Reinga or Te Rerenga Wairua, by visiting the place where spirits are said to depart on their long journey back to their true homeland on this group tour. 

Stand at the northernmost point of New Zealand and drink in the panoramic views. Snap a picture beneath the iconic lighthouse, look out at the point where the Tasman Sea collides with the mighty Pacific Ocean, and, if you’re feeling adventurous, try sandboarding.

Travel in the local partner's purpose-built 46-seat tour bus designed for cruising along 90 Mile Beach, where some other tours can’t reach. Listen to entertaining and thought-provoking insight into the culture, history, and natural wonders of the far north from your local guide. Have a delicious locally prepared lunch to keep you fueled throughout the day.

Try sandboarding (conditions permitting). Feel closer to the nature and culture of New Zealand on this tour.

Willi is a brillant guide with a lot of humor and always a song on his lips. We really enjoyed it to be his guests on board.
