Cape Reinga, Bay of Islands Overview

Cape Reinga is the northernmost accessible point in New Zealand. Here, the Tasman Sea meets the Pacific Ocean in a swirl of currents, and viewers can see the exact line where they meet each other in two vivid blues. It is a three-hour drive from Pahia. You can walk down the wide sealed walkway to the Cape Reinga lighthouse at the cliff's edge which takes about 10 minutes. This is a great spot for panoramic views and photo opportunities. The stunning cliffs and signposts show the distance from Cape Reinga to other global destinations and are a sight to behold.

Cape Reinga is a spiritually significant place for the Maori, and information panels along the way tell you about Maori history. At the tip of the Cape is an 800-year-old pohutukawa tree, and it is believed that spirits leap off this tree and depart to the ocean. Eating is prohibited at the Cape, but Tapotupotu Bay is only a 5-minute drive away for a good picnic or swim.
