What to Expect
The Cape Reinga day tour from Pahia or Kaitaia is an action-packed adventure that's sure to thrill both kids and adults. You'll drive along Ninety Mile Beach, stop at the Te Paki sand dunes for sandboarding, and walk to Cape Reinga lighthouse where the Tasman Sea meets the Pacific Ocean.
The tour is suitable for kids aged 5+, but be aware that the long drive times and busy schedule might be challenging for younger children. We recommend this tour for families with kids aged 7+.
Despite the potential downsides, the stunning scenery and unique experiences make this tour an unforgettable experience for families.
- Drive along Ninety Mile Beach

Value for Money
The tour costs $99 per adult and $70 per child, which is reasonable considering the unique experiences and stunning scenery. However, be aware that you'll need to factor in additional costs for food and snacks throughout the day.
Overall, we think the tour is good value for money, but families on a tight budget might want to consider packing their own lunch and snacks to save costs.
