Cape Reinga and 90 mile beach tour
We booked a day tour to Cape Reinga as it is quite a long way and we had heard stories of buses getting washed away on Ninety Mile Beach!
We set off at 7.30am and were greeted by a very jolly kiwi driver called Barry. Our first stop was ‘Puketi Kauri Forest’, where we saw similar trees to yesterday and were encouraged to hug …
Tongariro to Paihia
After a very cold night, we woke early. The mountains looked amazing. Behind us we could the clouds beginning to roll in and engulf the hills. We were on the road by 9.15am. The aim of today was to get as far north as we possibly could. We shared the driving as we knew it was going to be a long day.
Again we had many toilet stops. We also …
Haruru Falls is all this little town has going on.
Sleeper town, very cute and quiet. Does the wind always blow on theis Island?
Carry on camper-vaning NZ style
We got up for our last time in Auckland, had brekkie then caught a taxi to pick up the campervan back near the airport. This might seem like a bit of an extravagance for backpackers but the bus to the airport is $16 each or a taxi was $35 for both of us.

An exhilarating experience including a wow...

Following that boat ride me, Cara, Sarah and Noonoo hopped on board a little jetty taking us to our sailing boat where we'd have a sailing experience around the bay of islands.

“ Lovely location ”
Reviewed Oct 27, 2012
We stayed for 1 night in our camper van.
We arrived quite late after a long drive and received a warm and helpful welcome. The site looks straight at the falls - lovely.
We used the small but clean kitchen for breakfast. The showers and loo were OK. We hired a kayak for an hour the day we left and kayaked right up to the falls - great experience.
