THIS BLOWS OUR MINDS! Cape Reinga Lighthouse, Ninety Mile Beach, Giant Sand Dunes | New Zealand 🇳🇿

Let's take you on another adventure in the Northland. We spent the night at Tokerau Beach Freedom Camp and then made our way to Cape Reinga, the most northern spot in New Zealand. As we explored the area we then made our way to the biggest dunes in New Zealand, felt like we were in the Sahara desert then to the famous 90mile beach were you can drive your car the whole stretch of it!

You two have seen more of New Zealand than most New Zealanders have. Well done you two for not just staying in the North Island or in the tourist spots. Good luck in your future travels.

[@Takirua66]

totally and I'm jealous

[@johnmcnulty1129]

[@gissyb1]

New Zealand has so much different scenery and sub tropical to alpine climate . The sand dunes are so spectacular as are all the Northland province 😍

[@williammorunga1793]

[@youtubemusic5210]

I love watching your adventures together ❤️ I do hope you both calm back to New Zealand real soon

[@henryjackson9793]

Wow, beautiful place, the top end of the North Island and the 90 mile beach. Great fishing there too. Another excellent vedio Glen and Ado. Both of you are very positive people enjoying life to the full, holding hands and running on top of the san dunes was very special and on top of the world.

[@GlenAndMado]

Either cry or laugh my friend! Need to stay positive to keep thriving in life ❤️ glad you enjoyed the video and we definitely had fun making it. All these special memories we have of beautiful New Zealand which we can always look back on!

[@johnstuart8511]

HELLO: Good to see you again. All is good on my side of the world 🌎 ✨️. Thanks for another awesome video. Regards from South Africa 🇿🇦.

I sat under that lighthouse with a friend in 2012 and we watched the full solar eclipse which was magical

[@johnotimi6813]

Thanks brother John, your support keeps us thriving ❤️

[@anneleahy9010]

Glad you are enjoyed the classic tourist trail.

[@nowrab9488]

Hello Mado and Glen, so I live 10mins from where you are at Tokerau. Weather is very strange at the moment, I've never seen it so changeable. Good fortune and enjoy the rest of your trip. 🏖

[@rayray2602]

Rangiputa, Matai, Merita, Houhora and so many beautiful beaches up there.. Back through Baileys and Kai Iwii lakes.. What a journey guys.. tooo good..🤙🏽

[@richardcaldwell9160]

A hearty congrats to you both - a grand achievement from the bottom to the top, and I have enjoyed every minute x

[@GlenAndMado]

Always special words coming from you Richard ❤️

[@gransha3]

Hi guys. I found your channel by accident a few weeks ago. Since then I have been binge watching your NZ adventures. I live in Geraldine S. Island where you visited Barkers. If I had known of your channel before then I would have loved to have met you and bought you a coffee. I hope you have enjoyed your time in New Zealand. I am Irish from the wee North, I came here in 1973 when I was very young, so it's my home now. I look forward to following your future adventures. Take care guys. Ian

[@GlenAndMado]

Awh Howya doing Ian hope you’re living the good life in Nz! Honestly we’re super grateful that you came across our channel and you’re an Irish man yourself so it makes it even more special ❤️ hope you stayed tuned for the next videos! Ps sorry we missed you!

[@Rob6668]

You need to go back down the West Coast especially Waipoua Forest to Visit Tane Mahuta which is biggest Kauri Tree in Nz then after that go to Aranga Beach andcat low tide pick some mussels from the rocks

[@twirl4968]

I have been watching your journey. You have just gone past where I like 'Kerikeri'. Glad you both enjoy your Kiwi adventures.

[@AlexMatthews-y4s]

I have loved all your videos and am sorry to see you leave and move on. Whangarei and Wellington were real treats for me as I'm deeply familiar with both. Please come back one day and shoot another series - and let me know! I'll host you for dinner. Kiwis and internationals alike really appreciate seeing the real NZ through the eyes of genuine travelers like yourselves. But I have the impression Mado doesn't like being called Chicken. Could be wrong but perhaps there's a better pet-name you could develop Glen!

[@GlenAndMado]

Still a few episodes my friend haha 😛 we thought whangarei was just okay but welly is definitely a cool place to visit 🙌 haha Mado loves to be called chicken don’t worry 😂

[@moniquegin8444]

The red fruit are Tree Tomatoes or Tamarillo a south American fruit. Cut in 1/2 and scoop out insides and eat (like a boiled egg). Sprinkle sugar on its kinda tart

[@GlenAndMado]

The proper kiwi way! 😂

[@tipeneuriti4899]

I will follow your next trip to tane mahuta be interesting because ethe mangamuka gorge road may still be partially finished see how you go Mado and Glen kiakaha stay strong all the way back from whence you began in Ireland and Germany

[@lesleyhughes3174]

Ramp Rd freedom camping site is a favourite! Can be a pain to get in and out of there, pretty rough and you can get stuck in the sand if you're not careful!😊

[@marias8007]

wow i'm jealous. i had an opportunity to visit Cape Reinga a few years ago and I said 'Nah, next time'. i wish i'd gone - I still haven't been

[@johnstuart8511]

You right about your Wish. If you do get stuck on the sand. And with the tide coming in. You can say Goodbye Wish. The sand will stuck your car down making it difficult to tow out. Some people are Lucky..

[@GlenAndMado]

Haha glad noting happened in the end 🫣

[@tipeneuriti4899]

Hello KIAORA from New Zealand Northland kaeo was my birthplace and we often go up to Kaitaia Township, we've been to the cape Reinga but its so windy there whether the Tasman sea ocean meets the Pacific Ocean fighting each other's energy 😅🎉 ,we don't stop at Whangarei because its boring lol and traffic cones are everywhere 😭

[@Toucan432]

Great Exhibition bay runs parralell to Ninety mile beach. It has white silica sand and green/blue waters. It has a totally different look to ninety mile beach. It gives me Florida vibes.......Put this in KZbin and see for yourself: Great Exhibition Bay, New Zealand. 4K drone

[@user-gslt]

beautiful view

[@thekiwinomad]

Great video. Funny fact 90 mile beach is actually only 45 miles long. It was originally because of when it was originally mapped with horses they estimated they could so many miles in an hour but didn't take into the softness of the sand for the horses. It also classed as a legal road hence why you can drive on it. Although personally I'm not of people driving on Beach's or though rivers. Also again Glen it's kiwifruit not kiwi

[@santoshsunar910]

Lovely

[@amyturner6275]

your inspiring me to explore my own country !, in summer the avos are even more plentiful

[@lookattheflowers7854]

few minutes back down the road (from lighthouse) is a beautiful wee doc camp site.. have seen orbs (electrical) during a massive storm out to sea.. soooo bizarre.

[@GlenAndMado]

Yup you got that right! We knew about the spot but we wanted to try and catch 90 mile beach for the sunset

[@lesleyhughes3174]

Did you drive down into Rangiputa Beach? Not far from where you camped, on Tokerau Beach. Beautiful, unspoilt, quiet little place. Cape Reinga is a stunning area for photographers.

[@YvonneBlain-q5y]

Those where Tree Tomotes in the outdoor store...I like them boiled in a bit of water and Sugar...They are not so tarty that way 👍

[@lesleyhughes3174]

Tamarillos or tree tomatoes

[@YvonneBlain-q5y]

Kia Ora Glen and Mado! We are proud of you guys for making it to Taitokerau. ❤ I am excited to see the Tane Mahuta vlog. We love Tane Mahuta, as well as a pair of kauri trees named Darby and Joan. Rawene and Kohu Kohu have a ferry called the Kohu rā. Omāpere and Opononi has a lovely view of North Hokianga. Koutu boulders too. 27:47

[@GlenAndMado]

Hello my friend hope your well ❤️ we’re super excited to showcase it in the next videos ❤️ thanks for the special recommendations too!

Mado you forget me 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Beautiful loves to see your video

[@chevydoitzKiwiVerrer]

I hoped you would go into Kaitaia and opononi. Pawarenga is also beautiful and quite EERIE 😅

[@modfus]

LOL, you guys will be sick of Kiwifruit😉😁 Your pronunciation of Te Reo Maori is fine Glen - many New Zealanders struggle with correct pronunciation too. The vowels are actually very similar to Italian. We know you loved driving on the beach Mado😄 - I guess you would prefer to have been in a fine German 4x4 😛

[@GlenAndMado]

Hahah mado does all the pronunciation 😂 anyways really appreciate the special words from your side and support ❤️ a 4x4 would have being awesome though on that beach!

Tokerau beach - one hundred worms named for the warriors that burrowed through the sand like worms , the southern end of this beach is where Sir Hekenukumai Busby lived and carved Waka - canoe and sailing vessels

[@j.2hua728]

(a) Ahhh (e) e as in egg (i) eeeee (o) as in in oar without the r ending (u) ewww These are the basic vowel sounds in maori,, m(Ahhhh)(oar) r (eeeee) The "r" is rolled. Then there are some combined vowels sounds like "au" which is "owe" or "Oh", "ei" is "ay", well at least close to that as it depends on dialect but you definitely shouldn't say the "ay" sound when you see the "a" letter in a word that is in maori, same as you shouldn't say "oh" when you see the letter "o" Pronouncing maori isn't difficult compared to "english" that has bear and bare which are different spellings for the same sound
