Cape Reinga Fly Drive Tour from Bay of Islands

Cape Reinga Fly-Drive Tour from the Bay of Islands

Fly to the tip of New Zealand and back in a single unforgettable day. This Cape Reinga fly-drive tour combines scenic flightseeing with a guided ground tour, giving you the best of Northland without hours spent on winding roads.
Enjoy complimentary pickup from central Paihia accommodation, or make your own way to Kerikeri Airport. From there, you’ll board a 45-minute scenic flight to Cape Reinga, soaring over Northland’s spectacular harbors and pristine beaches along the way.
Once you land, a comfortable air-conditioned mini-bus will meet your flight for a two-and-a-half-hour guided tour around the very top of New Zealand. Highlights include:

Cape Reinga Lighthouse – a stand where the Tasman Sea meets the Pacific Ocean
Tapotupotu Bay – pause for freshly baked refreshments in a stunning coastal setting
Te Paki Quicksand Stream – explore giant dunes, with the option to try sand surfing

Your return flight — a one-hour scenic journey back to the Bay of Islands — showcases some of the most spectacular coastal scenery in Northland. You’ll fly over Parengarenga Harbour and Great Exhibition Bay, remote areas visible only by air or sea. With their pure white silica sand and crystal-clear water, these hidden gems rank among the most beautiful places in New Zealand.
