Endless & lonely sand beaches, almost no inhabitants and in parts just 7 km wide. That’s what the landscape looks like at the far north cape – Aupōuri Peninsula.

For the trip to the last corner of New Zealand we chose to hop on an organized day trip, and it was worth it!

The ‘Cape Runner’ brought us to our first coffee stop in a nice little inlet and afterwards to Tapotupotu Bay, a wonderful sandy beach.
