Cape Reinga/Te Rerenga Wairua, is the northwesternmost tip of the
Aupouri Peninsula, at the northern end of the
North Island of
New Zealand. Cape Reinga is more than 100 km north of the nearest small town of
Kaitaia. State Highway 1 extends all the way to the Cape, but until 2010 was unsealed
gravel road for the last 19 km. Suitable vehicles can also travel much of the way via
Ninety Mile Beach and Te Paki stream bed.
