Cape Reinga – Te Rerenga Wairua

According to Maori legend, our location is "Te Hiku O Te Ika – The Tail of the Fish". And at the tip of the tail lies "Te Rerenga Wairua – Cape Reinga".
According to Maori Legend, Cape Reinga is the place where our loved ones depart when it is their time to return to Hawaiki - where we are born and where we return.
Here you will be embraced by peace... connections with your loved ones both living and departed... a place for thought... a spiritual place.

Ancient Kauri Kingdom (and cafe) at Awanui just north of Kaitaia. Gumdiggers Park – a short drive from the main road, but worth it – this is a special place with 100,000 year old kauri trees and the story of kauri gum and the gum diggers who made their livelihood from it.
Ahikaa Adventures - Dave and Rose and their whanau are based at the Te Paki Sand dunes - surf the giant dunes or surf the waves. Let them share the Maori story of the area. On the road north there are dozens of places to explore if you have time.
