Te Paki Coastal Track: 48 km in Northland
The Te Paki Coastal Track is a named multi-day track in Northland. The governing figure used here is 48 km (DOC · Te Paki Coastal Track), not a straight line between towns.
Typical time on the route is 3 days. Grade: Walking track. Season window: Year-round.
The Cape Reinga walkway / Te Paki coastal route. Ninety Mile Beach vehicle access is separate and regulated. Kaitaia is the town. Spirits Bay / Kapowairua is the eastern campsite.
The itinerary on this page is the published stop sequence: Kaitaia, Kapowairua, Cape Reinga, Waitiki Landing. Cabins and holiday homes load live around each stop; hut and trailhead pins without a town page still search by radius.
Book DOC huts and Great Walks on the DOC system where that applies. Town beds are what this site lists. Carry the day’s food on remote legs — several of these routes have no shop between ends.
Stop by stop
Kaitaia — town. Kapowairua — Spirits Bay camp. Cape Reinga — the lighthouse. Waitiki Landing — fuel and beds north.
Distances, grades and seasons above follow DOC · Te Paki Coastal Track. Confirm opening dates, slips and hut bookings on the operator or DOC page before you travel; alpine and West Coast tracks close or reroute after weather.
