Ahipara to Cape Reinga
|
Today is the DAY! Driving Ninety Mile Beach from
Ahipara to the Te Paki stream exit of the Beach. 82 Km of sand and sea is really
something! The exit itself is part of the Te
Paki stream. We were told don’t stop in the waterbed, because within minutes
you will sink so deep in the sand, that you will not be able to start again,
even with 4-wheel drive. We didn’t stop in the waterbed, so everything went
fine. From Te Paki road we continued to
SH1 and Cape Reinga, the destination of today. From Cape Reinga we made a stop at
the Taputaputa Beach. Then we followed SH1 south to
Waitiki Landing, were we made a side trip to Spirit Bay. Finally we made our way back to
the Motel in Ahipara. In Google Earth the trips of
today: Ahipara to
Cape Reinga: 113 km Taputaputa
Bay to Spirit Bay: 36 km |
