Cruise along the legendary 90 Mile Beach
Cultural Trails by Quad
Jump on a quad and follow our local Far North X team along the remote, rugged coastline of Ahipara. Ride beside Te Oneroa-a-Tōhē | 90 Mile Beach, then weave through the rocky headlands of Tauroa — rich with pūrākau | stories and deep connection to whenua.
Our journey follows sacred trails once walked by our ancestors, deep into Te Rarawa territory where culture, scenery, and adrenaline meet. You’ll hear story telling of the rāhui | restricted area customs that still protects these lands, shared by local Māori who are directly connected to the area.
