Visit Northland Region with Mighway

Cape Reinga Lighthouse

Perched at the spectacular northern tip of the North Island, the white-washed Cape Reinga lighthouse is reached by a gentle 1km stroll flanked by some of New Zealand's most spectacular beaches. To the southwest and fringed by dunes, Te Werahi Beach curves gently to touch Cape Maria van Diemen, while east from Cape Reinga, the gob smackingly beautiful Spirits Bay is known to local Maori as the final departure point for souls heading to the spiritual homeland. This is the northern most point of New Zealand so really is a most-stop location. You can see where the Tasman Sea meets the Pacific Ocean and the area has a large role in Maori mythology. This really is a special place so do try to make it up here, it's worth the effort.

Kamo Wildlife Sanctuary

Resident African lion "Zion" Kamo Wildlife Sanctuary is a privately owned sanctuary located near Kamo, Whangarei, New Zealand.. The facility houses 28 cats of varying species, mainly lions and Bengal tigers, a black leopard, and two African cheetahs. The park is privately run and is funded through tours and donations. While a few of the cats kept are semi-wild, the majority of the cats have been hand reared at the park.

Action World

There is no other place like this on earth! Literally! Freddy and Carol Osler (former World Champions on the Flying Trapeze) have developed an airbag landing system that allows for all manner of exciting activities right here at Action World, which hitherto could only be performed by wearing a safety harness. No question – if you're looking for entertainment in Paihia which includes activities for the whole family – then visit us for a day of fun-filled excitement! There is a large tent to sit under to watch the activities, drinks and snacks are available from vending machines or bring the esky and cook for the family with free BBQs for your use. Or mom and dad can suntan by the duck pond while the kids spend hours exhausting themselves.
