    This was a wonderful day with our amazing Coach Captain Barry and expert on the wheels and a fantastic, well rounded tour guide, with awesome humour. He is well versed with the history of the places we went to. Cape Reinga was absolutely breathtakingly beautiful😍 90 mile beach ride and sandboarding was exciting. The stopover at the Lucid Cafe was also wonderul- such a great place. Water was also prrovided in the bus after walking from Cape Reinga and the Food for lunch was great.

    Huey, our driver was brilliant. He kept us entertained and informed throughout the trip. Dune surfing was fun as was paddling in the ocean. A thoroughly good day.
    Unfortunately we didn’t...

    It’s a very long day on a bus but the sights are worth it. The driver was very nice and helpful. The coach bus could’ve been more comfortable. The food provided was good.
    Wonderfully Fantastic Tour!

    A wonderful trip to 90 mile beach and Cape Reinga
    Neil_W, Mar 2024
    A great day, cold start but soon warmed up, the trip to 90 mile beach and sand boarding was fantastic followed by a nice lunch stop by the sea and the onto cape reinga-breathtaking and humbling to see and witness the final setting off point for our departed loved ones A special mention for your driver, Barry, an all over great guy, nothing to much trouble and a good commentary throughout the journey where he showed a vast knowledge of the Māori culture and locations on the island along with the New Zealand people. He is a true knight of your company with a great sense of humour and should be applauded for it Neil & Patti (Sheffield UK)
    Awesome. Must do
    Sally_G, Mar 2024
    Great day awesome experience well worth the early start. Tania was very good driver and guide. As it was Monday the kaurui museum was not open. For those who like massage - sit in the back row seats!!!!
    great

    Great experience
    David_L, Mar 2024
    Learned a lot from the tour guide/driver about a variety of topics from history, plants, trees, animals and the Malori words.
    Great views; long day
    Elizabeth_L, Mar 2024
    There is a lot of time on the coach but both 90 mile beach and Cape Reinga were worth it. Our driver was a sweetie who gave us interesting information and sang Māori songs but was very anecdotal and mumbled a bit. Shame we could only sand board a very small dune. Overall a good day with great views.
    AMAZING
    JaQuera_J, Feb 2024
    Amazing Trip From the Tour Guide Willy to The Sand Dunes to the sing alongs. The cape was MAGICAL as well as all the small little cities inbetween
    Lunch experience disappointing no food for vegetarian despite ordering
    Sharon_S, Feb 2024
    Seeing the Cape with friends Long slow trip commentary not that interesting Sound system poor and irritating
    worth the trip with Viator
    Beini_Z, Feb 2024
    Scheduled on time, service are good and interesting introduction. Would definitely recommend to friends and really thank you Viator to give us an enjoyable trip.
    Awful trip
    Kim_B, Feb 2024
    The coach was very uncomfortable and the driver although was a nice man, did not stop talking the whole journey. The microphone was not working properly either nor was the ac where we were sitting. Whole experience was not worth it
    🤩 fun

    Collecting pipes on the beach with waves splashing at the back and wind blowing your hair all over your face
