Cape Reinga, also known as Rerenga Wairua (the departing place of the spirts) is a spiritual and sacred place to Maori, the indigenous people of Aotearoa (New Zealand).

Don't climb the hill on the left at the start of the main path just past the toilets.

Keep to the main path going down to the lighthouse and don't go any further than that.

Dont eat going to / from the lighthouse.

Don't take any flora or fauna.

Don't climb up the side of the bank on the right hand side coming down to the carpark.

Enjoy the feeling of the place :-)

 This photo was taken while standing at the lighthouse looking down to the Pohutukawa tree. This pohutukawa tree is the only one in Aotearoa (NZ) that never flowers.
