3. Ninety Mile Beach Kaitaia
Ninety Mile Beach is on the western coast of the far north of the North Island of New Zealand. It stretches from just west of Kaitaia towards Cape Reinga along the Aupouri Peninsula. It begins close to the headland of Reef Point, to the west of Ahipara Bay, sweeping briefly northeast before turning northwest for the majority of its length. It ends at Scott Point, 5 kilometres south of Cape Maria van Diemen. The beach is actually just 88 kilometers long. In the days of sailing ships a number of vessels were wrecked on this beach. The beach and its northern dunes are a tourist destination. The dunes, looking much like a desert landscape, are often used for bodyboarding.

4. Cape Reinga Cape Reinga
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 Kauaeparaoa Stream stream bed.

The Wairere Boulders are a rock formation at Wairere, in the Hokianga region of northern New Zealand. A geological nature park around the boulders was planned and constructed by Felix and Rita Schaad in 1999. The walkways were built between 2000 and 2003. Wairere Boulders welcomes customers to see the large basalt boulders that are scattered all over the property of the Schaads, a Swiss couple who emigrated to New Zealand in 1983.

7. Whangaroa Harbour Whangaroa
Whangaroa Harbour , previously spelled Wangaroa Harbour, is an inlet on the northern coast of Northland, New Zealand. Whangaroa Bay and the Pacific Ocean are to the north. The small settlements of Totara North and Saies are on the west side of the harbour, Waitaruke on the south side, and Whangaroa on the east. State Highway 10 runs through Waitaruke. The name comes from the lament Whaingaroa or what a long wait of a woman whose warrior husband had left for a foray to the south. The harbour was formed when rising sea levels drowned a river valley about 6,000 years ago. Steep outcrops remain from ancient volcanic rocks.There are extensive mangrove swamps at the head of the harbour, and some of the oldest fossils in the North Island, dating to the early Permian about 270 million years ago, a...

ITS NOT THE PERFECT LIFE - BUT WE LOVE IT! | Bus Life NZ Family Vlog | Ep. 128

In this episode of Bus Life NZ we wake up in Pukenui, New Zealand after leaving Cape Reinga the evening before and driving into the night through a storm. Amber & the kids check out the farm animals at the campground we stayed at and then we hit the road and end up in Kaitaia, and spend the day doing washing and relaxing after a long couple of days driving. We sleep in a car park and then awake the next day and make the decision to abandon our plans to drive down the western side of the coast due to there being no free camping. So we make a beeline for Whangarei and spend a long rainy day on the road.
