It's a ~3hour drive from Paihia to Cape Reinga (about as north as you can go) & lighthouse. Left is the Tasman Sea, right is the Pacific Ocean. According to lore, this is where Māori spirits depart Aotearoa. Weather was lovely. #Northland #NorthlandScenes #Aotearoa #NewZealand #somethingBeautiful #CapeReinga

Today in 2016 found me at the top end of New Zealand, wandering down to the Cape Reinga lighthouse on a hot, sunny day!

▴ Cape Reinga

Reaching Cape Reinga for sunrise wasn’t the easiest journey, given its remote location at the northernmost tip of New Zealand, but it was absolutely worth it. This dramatic headland is where the Tasman Sea meets the Pacific Ocean, creating swirling currents as the waters collide. In Māori culture, Cape Reinga holds deep cultural significance in Māori tradition, believed to be the place where spirits depart for their ancestral homeland.
