Cape Reinga

Standing at New Zealand's northernmost tip, Cape Reinga is where the Tasman Sea dramatically collides with the Pacific Ocean, creating swirling currents visible from the iconic lighthouse perched on the cliff. This sacred Māori site, known as 'Te Rerenga Wairua' (the leaping place of spirits), offers breathtaking coastal views and holds deep spiritual significance as the departure point for souls journeying to the afterlife.
