Cape Reinga and Ninety Mile Beach is as far as you can go on the mainland of New Zealand. The northernmost tip of the cape is a private reserve of the Maori people, and is one of their most important sacred sites. Walk up to the lighthouse and take in expansive panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea as they merge. From this unique vantage point you can also sight the famous pohutukawa tree where, it is said, Maori spirits depart on their journey to their final resting place. A trip to the cape would not be complete without making the journey up or back along spectacular Ninety Mile Beach, regarded by many to be one of the best surfcasting beaches in the world.
