Cape Reinga New Zealand | Day Trip to Cape Reinga | Visiting Cape Reinga Lighthouse

No vacation to the North Island of New Zealand is complete without a day trip to Cape Reinga.

The Heceta Head Lighthouse exceeded my expectations. I was not expecting to have park employees at the lighthouse ready to answer any question and take guests on guided tours.
