NEW ZEALAND'S FAR NORTH: CAPE REINGA, NINETY MILE BEACH, GIANT SAND DUNES

- We are continuing our New Zealand road trip around the Northland region. In this travel vlog, we are exploring the Far North and driving all the way up to the northernmost point of New Zealand's North Island - Cape Reinga. You can also other beautiful destinations in this travel video including Te Paki Sand Dunes and Ninety Mile Beach. Many kiwis and tourists love spending their holidays exploring Northland because its nature is absolutely spectacular.
If you're doing a road trip and drive around Northland, we recommend getting to Cape Reinga as early as possible to beat the traffic and crowds. Tourist buses arrive closer to lunchtime and it's way harder to enjoy Cape Reinga Lighthouse and surrounding tracks when it's full of people. Also, bring your food with you as there is no place to buy lunch or coffee. It's not only true for Cape Reinga but for the whole Far North District, food and fuel are very limited here, so plan strategically.
On our way back from Cape Reinga, we decided to visit another amazing tourist attraction - Te Paki Giant Sand Dunes. This is not only a beautiful destination for taking pictures and admiring views. This is a very unique spot to try sand boarding, right from giant dunes. There is a lot of people here even outside of the peak season, but there is enough space for everyone. You can bring your own sand board (you can buy it in Kmart or Warehouse in any big city) or rent it right at the car park. You can also enjoy your walk around Te Paki Sand Dunes - it's totally free.
Another amazing and truly unique place to visit in Northland is Ninety Mile Beach. This is not only a spectacular beach with stunning views (definitely one of the miracles of New Zealand nature), it's also a highway. Yes, that's correct, if you have a suitable vehicle, you can officially drive on 90 Mile Beach. Obviously, you would want to have a 4x4 car, SUV or UTE which is also high enough to cope with sand. We were using BMW X3 xDrive and it was good as. Also, check your insurance policy (especially if you're renting a car) as many companies don't cover any damage and don't provide any assistance on the Ninety Mile Beach.
Our New Zealand tour continues and we are going to explore more of Northland in future travel vlogs. Consider subscribing to our channel and check out other videos:

WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE WE HAD IN NORTHLAND! Driving on 90 mile beach was probably a highlight of the whole trip 😊
Super
Thanks!
@@theStyleJungle a very beautiful place. Thank you for the video. as if I had been there myself
@@beachdirector81 We're so glad you enjoyed it!
@@theStyleJungle Greetings from Russia
@@beachdirector81 Спасибо!
Another great video. Looks amazing and beautifully edited! Should have 100k subscribers at least. Since two years, it's been a real joy to watch. Thank you both!
Thanks so much! It's great to know we have such loyal viewers 🙂 We would love to have 100k subscribers lol 🤣
@@theStyleJungle you really should have with this combination of exposing style and NZ beauty...
@@dennis.35th Thanks so much! We hope people will share some of our videos with their friends to help us spread the word about beautiful spots around NZ 😊
What is the water temperature at the end of summer there? This place corresponds in latitude to the southern coast of the island of Cyprus in the northern hemisphere
Maybe around 20-22 degrees at the end of summer, very similar to Cyprus or Italy in August-September
@@theStyleJungle In Cyprus, the water in August is 28-29 degrees. Even here in Sochi in southern Russia, in the Black Sea in August, the water is 27-28. But these comparisons are inappropriate, since the Black Sea and Mediterranean are small compared to the endless Pacific Ocean.
@@theStyleJungle 22 degrees water is refreshing, it's super
@@beachdirector81 well, the water in Sochi is definitely much warmer! Water temperatures in NZ even in Summer are too cold for us...
@@theStyleJungle but there are no such landscapes anywhere, I am amazed by the beach 90 miles💥🌊🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍,it is strange why there is so little population in the far north of NZ ..... there are winter in June, July, August the warmest of all. probably bananas can also be grown
Such a nice place
We know, right? Have you been there?
theStyleJungle not yet, I hope some days. The are so many placés to go ! 🙂 I hope we’ll be free soon. Take care
