Is Cape Reinga and Ninety Mile Beach Tour Worth It for Families?
The Cape Reinga day tour from Pahia or Kaitaia is one of New Zealand's great family day trips. You drive along Ninety Mile Beach (hard sand, the bus is the road), stop at the Te Paki sand dunes for sandboarding, and walk to Cape Reinga lighthouse where the Tasman Sea meets the Pacific Ocean.
Pricing note: Prices vary by operator and departure point
