Bay of Islands and Cape Reinga

After our 2 day stay in Whangarai we moved further north to the Bay of Islands. We stayed in the tiny little seaside town of Paihia where we visited the Treaty House where we brushed up on our New Zealand history. The next day we took a boat trip out to watch the dolphins and sail through the “hole in the rock”. We also took a day trip up to Cape Reinga, right at the northern tip of New Zealand. We got to travel along the Ninety Mile Beach, go “sand boarding” (not quite as hardcore as Peru) and see the lighthouse out at Cape Reinga.
