Jeg har parkert bilen min på ferie campingplassen og det var en veldig stor spasertur til der (~12km fra campingplassen, jeg tror om 6-8km fra "byen" til sanden "fjellet"). Fjellet er på "nord" side. Jeg var på den store "fjellet" og jeg vil ikke anbefale å glide ned der. Det er veldig "høy vinkel", det er veldig farlig, jeg ville ikke gjøre det og ville aldri la barna mine gjøre dette!!!

Jeg parkerte bilen min på gaten og løp derfra. Møtte en fin mann i landsbyen som ga oss bodyboards.

Vi fulgte google kart og tok veien. På et tidspunkt blir veien til privat eiendom, som krever samtykke til å fortsette. Vi spurte eieren, som var hyggelig og til og med ga oss et stykke gummi fra reservatet! Vi parkerte bilen (som du ikke kan kjøre på veien ned til sanddynene), og gikk i stedet. lang spasertur i ond terreng, men helt verdt det, gjorde vi det bare for en gylden solnedgang, absolutt vakker utsikt og ingen rundt 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.
