Cape Reinga & Waipoua Forrest Helicopter Tour
Full day tour of the Far North
Depart your Bay of Islands accommodation property or central Paihia for your 30 minute (approx) helicopter flight across to Omapere where you will be met by your Footprints Waipoua guide.
Footprints is operated by local Maori on Northlands rugged West Coast. Let Kupe’s (NZ’s first discoverer) descendants take you on a guided walk of the largest kauri forest in the world and introduce you to their relationship with Mother Nature, both spiritually and culturally.
A highlight of your experience with Footprints will be an introduction to Tane Mahuta – God of the Forest. (Forest Tour duration approx. 1.5 hours).
From Omapere you continue to the Cape Reinga region via Northlands spectacular West Coast and of course the famous Ninety Mile Beach. From Ninety Mile Beach we then fly inland where we land at our airfield which is only 20Km from the Cape Reinga lighthouse. Once on the ground our comfortable air conditioned vehicle will meet the aircraft to begin your vehicle tour. This part of the tour takes approximately 2 hours. Included stops are the Cape Reinga Lighthouse and Tapotupotu Bay.
When the vehicle tour is complete we arrive back at the airfield for a short flight over spectacular and remote scenery such as the white silica sands of Parengarenga Harbour and Great Exhibition Bay landing at Henderson Bay on the east coast for a full and leisurely lunch near the beach.
From here the flight back down the east coast also passes across the Houhora Harbour, Whangaroa Harbour, the Cavalli islands and of course the stunning Bay of Islands before setting down at the original departure point .
Tours require a minimum of 2 people to operate and can tailor made to suit.
