Sand Surfing on the Giant Te Paki Sand Dunes

Te Paki Sand DunesOnly a 45 min drive from the holiday park are the iconic Giant Te Paki Sand Dunes. They literally rise from the grass into huge mountains of golden sand.

Walking out onto them is like walking into another world. The sand formations, vegetation and continually moving sand really make you feel like you are heading into the desert. Great photos can be had at all times of the day and in all weather.

For those of us who are thrill seekers …. try Sand-surfing, its totally exhilarating, and very fast. You can hire sand boards on site. It is best to do this as these boards are specifically designed for sand, are easily controlled and can slide fast down the slopes.

Action shots are fun to try too. As friends fly down the dunes, or jump off the top you can catch the action with brilliant blues skies against the golden sand. Even from the car park you can see the awesomeness of these huge sand formations. For those less energetic, an easy walk to the edge of the dunes helps you appreciate the size of these massive mountains of moving sand.

What Guests Say…

I have always wanted to see the light house at Cape Reinga and so two weeks ago made the trip north from Whangarei. I was most fortunate to discover the Pukenui Holiday Park where I stayed for a couple of nights. On my arrival at the camp I was met by the lovely and very friendly ‘camp minders’ who showed me a great site in a quiet area...
