Farewell spit and Wharariki beach


Cape Farwell and Farwell spit is known for its birdlife and you can only access the main part of  the Spit by joining a tour. We tramped our own way to Fossil point. The track goes mainly through farmland and it ended at a beautiful beach. Sun was shining but we managed to get shade under a cliff at the end of the beach. Klara and Pernilla went on climbing/hiking to the next bay and met a seal! The beach is beautiful and very little people where hiking here.

Cooling hot feet, beach is burning






After an ice cream stop at the little nice café we drove the gravel road to Wharariki camp site. At first sight not a very charming campsite, but its close to the beach so we decided to stay one night. The owner said, a lot of people come here for a visit to the beach and when they’ve seen it they want to stay. And that was so true. Pernilla + kids wanted to go to the beach only 20 min away. Happily we took of chatting a way. A bit to much we noticed after 20 min a no beach. Hm we took the long track 1 ½ hours… But it was a very beautiful and we kept a high spirit in the team. Down at the beach it was low tide so all the rocks and caves where revealed. Pictures doesn’t really show how fantastic it was but it gives an idea! 

Beautiful detour around the lake

It was late when we got back but now our campsite actually looked really charming. Happy reunion with Janne and Pia from Gotland. They where also “drunk” with Wharariki beauty.
