Sandboarding
The Te Paki Stream sand dunes, just south of Cape Reinga, Northland, is a natural sandboarding fun park.
Grab anything hard and flat (boogie board, old real estate sign etc..) climb the dunes and have fun!
Be careful to lock your car as this place is a notorious place for crafty local thieves that lay in wait in the nearby bushes.

The sand dunes are amazing!
The walk up them is hard work but we had a ball going down. You can rent a board on site for $15 if you don’t have one and the Māori couple renting boards were really friendly, we had a great chat with them!

The sand dunes are incredible.
But go with your own smooth bottom board. The rental people on site in the car park are expensive and unfriendly. Otherwise great fun had by all.

An awesome place to visit the north of the North Island.
Some nice tracks around it, good camping places and you are able to go sandboarding.

Surf down huge sand dunes and enjoy an amazing view between the sea, the sand dunes and the forest.

Very nice activity!
Lots of fun with the board, only con is that the boars is $15 and you are tired after 3 times.

We rented the sandboards a bit outside of the sand dune area - because renting at the spot closes at 5pm.
The sandboarding itself was first a bit scary, but after some training on baby hills, we enjoyed the speed a lot - definitely recommendable.

Funny activity, you can try some tricks with the board if you are brave enough.
Really sandy, some cleaning facilities would be nice.

Surfboarding at the beach down the hill.
A bit boring if you lie down, more exciting if you try to stand up.

Especially the sand dunes itself were breathtaking because they were just like placed into the green bush.
Also, the boarding down the dunes was nice - you have to stand up!

Very funny, good sensations.
Close your mouth during the slide and use sunglasses, the sand can enter everywhere.

Amazing and fun experience!
Fast, may be painful but still one of the best things you can do up North. Free if you have a bodyboard, $15 to hire a bodyboard if needed.

Don't use a wooden or plastic board, even if it's waxed, that's not working on the sand.
Hire a board for $10-15, they know what's working.
Surfing itself is awesome!

I enjoyed it too but be careful, it can be a little bit dangerous.
I was injured in my back/neck when I fell down in the sand.

We rented a bodyboard for $15 and it was worth it!
The climb to the top of the dune was not easy but the boarding was so fun that we had to climb it again.

The climb of the sand dune was exhausting but when you ride down with a body board you forget the effort.
