Excursão de Dia Inteiro a Cape Reinga e Ninety Mile Beach

Although we were a little worried about the cloudy weather, the schedule proceeded as planned, and our guide, Barry, enthusiastically shared his knowledge with us. We could somewhat understand why New Zealanders hold Cape Reinga as sacred. It was wondrous, beautiful, and truly spectacular. Barry drove the tour vehicle along 90 Mile Beach, and sandboarding in the dunes transported us to another world. This tour is an absolute must-do in Paihia. Once again, I sincerely thank our guide, Barry.

It's not easy to get all the way up to the north of New Zealand, but if you go, you won't regret it. The scenery from the sandboarding at Ninety Mile Beach and the lunch spot, all the way to Cape Reinga, is perfect. They also give you plenty of time. Make sure to go and see the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea meet.

Unfortunately, the beginning was a little stressful. I never received a confirmation email/call to confirm my reservation and pick up time. Klook said I would receive a confirmation 24 hours prior, so I was worried that they were not tracking me for the tour. (I did try contacting Klook, I tried calling the company and emailing to no avail) Upon my initial booking I was scheduled for a 7 AM pick up, so without having any confirmation within 24 hours, I waited by my hotel at 7 AM. I did try calling the company, but kept getting voicemails. At 7:10 am another couple showed up and said they had been contacted and were told the pick up time was 7:20am At 7:30 we were still waiting and the other couple called the company which didn’t open until 7:30 AM! and they were told the bus was running late. So once the bus finally showed up, and that stress was relieved, it was a great tour. The bus was comfortable. The locations were absolutely stunning, but word of caution for those who may have mobility challenges, the lighthouse has quite a steep incline on the way up, and it’s a good distance walk. The driver provided a lot of wonderful and useful information about New Zealand, which was helpful. Only downfall was the driver made several comments that were quite abrupt with passengers.

Long day but worth it. A lot of commentary by the bus driver.

If you don't want to drive for too long, a one-day tour is perfect. When booking through Klook, remember to contact them yourself in advance to arrange lunch.

A great itinerary, worth trying for everyone.

It was a good experience. The lunch could have been much better. Sandboarding could have been much better.

El conductor del autobús fue muy amable y sus comentarios fueron entretenidos, un tipo realmente agradable que hizo el largo viaje ameno con sus conocimientos. Los trayectos son muy largos para lo que realmente se ve/hace. Las dunas de arena fueron geniales 👍

We had a great time. Very well organised tour. Bus driver was very friendly, experienced and knowledgeable. We had a break at Ancient Kauri Kingdom. The giant kauri staircase at the shop and cafe was very impressive. The drive on 90 mile beach along the Tasman Sea was fabulous and the sandboarding down the massive sand dunes was fun. Breathtaking views at Cape Reinga and our lunch, fish and chips were excellent. A pleasent walk at Puketi Kauri forest to see some majestic kauri tree. Loved the whole experience. Highly recommended.

Due to a typhoon on February 12th, the trip was cancelled and rescheduled for February 14th. As the typhoon warning was not lifted, the departure was cancelled again.
