Things To Do / CapeReinga

Cape Reinga

The Popular Cape Reinga lighthouse...

is about 75km’s north of Houhora Heads which makes the camp an ideal ‘there and back’ overnight stopping place. You can either take a tour bus or drive yourself. 

The tours are very good value and we can make a booking for you if you wish. The buses will pick you up from the camp and we will meet you at the 90 mile beach drop off or visa versa depending on the tides.  If you are driving yourself there are a number of activities you can do on your trip to the Cape and back. Unfortunately if you have a rental vehicle you agreement will not allow you to drive on the 90 mile beach – some insurance policies also won’t cover your car while you are on the beach. 

If you’re into beautiful beaches then we’d recommend stopping at Rarawa beach (well sign posted about 17kms North) and Tapotupotu bay (almost at the Cape). A ‘must –do’ is to drive down to see the Te Paki Stream and slide down the giant sandhills. Body boards can be used as sand toboggans for sliding down the dunes.

We appreciate your decision to visit with us and are keen to honour that decision … please let us know if you have questions by email or phone.
