The Top of the North is the long scenic finger of land which stretches from
Kaitaia round the tip of the North Island, taking in the tiny townships of
Ahipara,
Awanui,
Herekino,
Houhoura,
Ngataki and
Pukenui. Top of the North is a great place for a relaxing holiday, with unspoiled beaches for swimming, boating and snorkelling, and some of the best fishing waters in the world.
Cape Reinga’s solitary lighthouse stands watch over the turbulent seas where the Pacific Ocean and Tasman Sea meet. On picture postcard days, the vivid green of the Tasman Sea and the cobalt blue of the Pacific Ocean make a truly striking scene. Kaitaia is the main visitor hub for the Top of the North, and there are numerous tours available from the town. You can ride along the sands of Ninety Mile Beach, stand atop Cape Reinga with its awesome views, or discover the region’s pioneer history and Maori legends.
