Overview

This full-day tour from Paihia lasts about 10 to 11 hours and covers key locations in New Zealand’s Far North. The trip begins in Paihia before traveling to a seaside township for a 20-minute morning tea break with coastal views. The tour continues to Kā Uri, a workshop owned by Ngāti Kuri, where visitors spend 20 minutes learning about kauri wood products made from trees dated over 45,000 years old. Next, the tour heads to Cape Reinga Lighthouse at the northernmost point of New Zealand. Visitors have 30 minutes to see where the Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean meet and to learn about the area's cultural significance. After this, the tour travels along 90 Mile Beach (also known as Te Oneroa-a-Tohe) in a specially built 4x4 coach for about 15 minutes. When conditions allow, there is an opportunity to sand board on the nearby Te Paki Sand Dunes, with sandboards provided; a change of clothes is recommended for this activity. A fresh prepared lunch is included during the day. Local driver guides provide full commentary throughout the tour, sharing information about the history and culture of the Far North.
