  End of the world place, with briliant views, especially in good weather. But quite a climb (750 steps) to get there!

  770 steps through native bush, but well worth it: at the top a fantastic view and although not there at dawn being where the new day begins was wonderful. Take the drive out slowly and safely.

  Well worth the drive along the unsealed road and the climb up, actually 759 steps (i counted). If you go to Cape Reinga (the most northerly lighthouse of the island) you have to go to the most easterly lighthouse. We didn't see anyone when we were there, something special about being that high, oh forgot to mention the earthquake we had whilst at the top, that made the experience something to remember!!

  It is special to be on the easternmost tip of NZ. And gives a great workout going back down the steps.

  well worth getting up early to see the sun rise an absolute must. Steps up to the light house were ok.

  The drive out is a bit tight in places and watch out for wandering cattle as fences are optional along this area

  The road out to the lighthouse is spectacular. Don't be in a hurry. There is a cliimb up a lot of steps to the lighthouse proper, but it is worth it. Spectacular. It is fun to be there and realize that at that moment you are the "most easterly person in the world".

  To be honest we enjoyed the 20km coastal drive more than the lighthouse. The steep climb is just about worth it for the limited views. The coastal scenery on the way to the lighthouse were far more spectacular and beautiful. Still worth doing if only to say you have climbed up to the most easterly lighthouse in the world.
