Puponga Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

This is Wharariki Beach at sunset. 

On the South Island of New Zealand we drove to the Northern tip at Farewell Point where Capt. James Cook said farewell to these islands on his way to Australia.  This beach is just amazing, with little seal pups playing in the rock pools at low tide and these amazing rocks offshore.  Best time to photograph these rocks is when the tide is going out and along the beach to the West.  Only a short 1km walk from the car park. #OnTheRoad

Take a step into another world on this patch of sand dunes at the top of New Zealand's South Island.
The northernmost point of the South Island of New Zealand. Extremely windy! But gorgeous views of the cliffs and verdant hills.
Wharaiki Beach - beautiful
