मैंने छुट्टी कैम्पिंग में अपना कार पार्क किया है और यह वहां तक एक बहुत बड़ा पैदल चलना था (कैम्पिंग से लगभग 12 किमी, मुझे लगता है कि "शहर" से "गंगा" तक 6-8 किमी)। पहाड़ "उत्तर" पक्ष पर है. मैं बड़े "गंगा" पर था और मैं वहां नीचे स्लाइड करने की सलाह नहीं दूंगा. यह बहुत "उच्च कोण" है, यह बहुत खतरनाक है, मैं ऐसा नहीं करूंगा और कभी भी अपने बच्चों को ऐसा करने की अनुमति नहीं दूंगा !!! वहाँ तक का रास्ता पागल रूप से महान था और शीर्ष से दृश्य बिल्कुल अद्भुत था, आपको इसे देखने की आवश्यकता थी (लेकिन सावधान रहें, यह एक लंबी पैदल चलना और वहां ऊपर जाना खतरनाक है!) (लेकिन मैं इसे फिर से करूंगा :-)

मैंने सड़क पर अपनी कार पार्क की और वहां से भाग गया. गांव में एक अच्छा आदमी से मुलाकात की जो हमें बॉडीबोर्ड दिया. रेत ड्यूना बहुत धीमी है, यह बहुत मजेदार था!

We followed google map and took the road. At some point the road turns into private property, which requires consent to continue. We asked the owner, who was nice and even gave us a piece of gum from the reserve! We parked the car (as you can’t drive on the road down to the sand dunes), and walked instead. Long walk in wicked terrain, but totally worth it, we made it just for a golden sunset, absolutely beautiful view and no one around for miles.

We rented our boggey boards. You have to get to the end of the road on the 90 mile beach by Ahipara and park your car on the beach (unless you have a 4x4). From there it is a beautiful walk of 45 minutes only accessible from 1-2h after high tide. There is a huge dune and a small one. The view from the top of the big dune is super impressive: sea and desert. Our experience was less interesting because there were a lot of motorbikes playing in the dune making the slide more dangerous.

Don’t follow google maps! It brings you to a private property.

Access by road requires consent as it is a separate state. Nobody was there so we did not take the risk. Maybe its better to go by the beach.

A really great spot we had an amazing day there. You walk on low high tide along the beach to access the dunes. About 45 min. After that climb the steep dunes for 15 minutes. It is a great view and then slide down. Really fun! we rent the boards at the only hostel we saw. It is opposite of the public toilets. Park your car there they have cameras so it's safer. If you have a 4wd car you can drive the way along the beach like all the local fisher men. The rental was 10 dollars for 2 boards for the whole day. No private property it's a beach access.

Private Property! May be closed!
