New Zealand, Cape Reinga – Northernmost Projection – VIDEO
Published: 14.12.2021
On New Zealand's northern islend, there is a narrow land projection adorned by beautiful cliffs, sand dunes, and the longest beach in the country. It is also one of the most sought after points of interest for tourists. Let's go there and spend there a while.
The waters of the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean meet at CApe Reinga. You may see the waves go up and down during high and low tides while breaking over coastline cliffs. Around the cliffs, there are many sea birds. Hostile soil gave life to many unusual plants unline any other in the world. Nature, vistas, these are the main reasons why to make a trek from the lighthouse on Cape Reinga to the cliffs in the west.
In 2010, an asphalt road goes all the way down to Cape Reinga. Thanks to it you may get easy by any car. To experience some adrenaline, you need a car powerful enough (4 by 4 is the best) and drive on the endless Ninety Miles Beach. But beware of high tide! If you don't seek thrill, still go and see the beach. roku 2010 vede až na mys Reinga asfaltová silnice, díky které se sem bez problémů dostanete jakýmkoliv autem. Pokud ale chcete zažít trochu adrenalinu a máte dostatečně výkonné auto (ideálně s pohonem na všechny čtyři kola) projeďte se po zdánlivě nekonečné pláži Ninety Miles Beach. Jen pozor na příliv! I pokud vás adrenalin neláká, rozhodně se na pláž podívejte – ani z většiny okolních písečných dun nemáte šanci dohlédnout na její konec. Pláž má sice jen asi 88 kilometrů, tedy ne 90 mil, jak by název napovídal, i tak je ale až neuvěřitelně dlouhá a krásná.
Make a stop by huge snad dunes in the north. Here you will feel as if in desert. Quite unexpected on the rainy northern island of Nového Zélandu. Moreover, you may rent a plank or a sledge to ride the dunes down. Even though any hike to the top is strenous, the fun is worth it.
Even though the road up to the very north takes quite a long time, I highly recommend you to visit CApe Reinga. On the wway, you may stop at many beautiful places. Moreover the vistas along Highway 1 are amazing.
