Cape Reinga Lighthouse – Northland

#tesaruonbudget Cape Reinga is one of New Zealand’s most spiritual and iconic landmarks. Free to visit, the lighthouse overlooks the meeting point of the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean, where currents crash dramatically together. For Māori, this is the sacred place where spirits begin their journey to the afterlife. The short walking paths offer spectacular coastal views, with windswept cliffs and endless blue horizons. For budget travellers, standing here feels priceless — it’s the top of the country, both literally and spiritually.
