Cape Reinga to Spirits Bay

Look out for swimming holes on left when coming down into Pandora campground. Good place to cool off.

If you know of any public toilets near the trail start or on the route, please login and then let us know so we can update this section.

Lots of parking at the start and at the end of this trail. If you want to do this one way, you will need to organise to have a second car or someone to pick you up at the other end. Can otherwise do an out and back run, turning around at any point along the course.

Easy.

Track is well marked but hard to go wrong. Stick to coast and head eastwards.

I ran with a hydration pack. Very hot in summer - take plenty of water. I assume there is water available at campgrounds along the way, but not 100% certain on that.

Fairly typical Northland track. May be some muddy / slippery spots after rain, but due to coastal and hilly nature will generally hold up well.

Occasionally some steep drop-offs near track.
