A busy and jam packed, but day full of fun. Driving on 90 mile beach was great fun. Highlight of the day was probably sand boarding. The lighthouse at the most northern point was quite special. Our driver Spike made the day.

A very good way to fully explore the amazing beauty of north NZ from the comforts of the tour bus' wide clear windows... The whole day bus tour might be a bit tiring but is definitely worth every minute spend on it... you get to experience the endless scenic drive on offer, the stunning cape reinga, the 90 mile beach...

Long day but well worth it. BARRY our driver was just fantastic (I wish him well for his up and coming adventure, hope it all panned out for you). Driving on 90 mile beach was fantastic, the sand dunes, excellent. Only wish I was able to climb up there all day, loved it. I made it across the car park... More

A very full and long day but fun with great sights. Cape Reinga (with the lighthouse and the meeting point) was the highlight and sandboarding is a must do! The tour guide (Barry) was very knowledgeable and friendly.

We were picked up at 7:00 am at the corner of our bed and breakfast in Paihia and the bus driver took us all the way to the top of the North Island to Cape Reinga, where the Pacific Ocean and the Tasmin Sea meet. It was gorgeous. From there we drove on the sand right by the water's edge... More

A great trip to the tip of the North Island! Picked up outside our hostel by driver Kev(?), who was a wealth of knowledge from beginning to end. We stopped for a short walk to the huge Kauri trees, and carried onto Cape Reinga where the Tasman and Pacific Seas meet - and you really can tell where they meet!... More

The trip was brilliant, a very long day but so glad I got to do it and see such a beautiful place in NZ. The weather was fantastic which made it even better. Had Barry as our driver and he kept us entertained all day. Cape Reinga is a beautiful place and doing the sandboarding was great fun too.
