The sand from the great Te Paki Sand Dunes being whipped up by the wind in Northland, New Zealand.

The beautiful camel coloured sand of the Te Paki Sand Dunes is a great place to visit during a trip in Northland to Ninety Mile Beach and Cape Reinga. The dunes are pushed in land by 5 kilometres and to a height of about 100 metres by strong winds blowing from the Tasman Sea.

A popular activity for visitors during the summer months is to fly down the Te Paki Sand Dunes on a toboggan or climbing to the top of the highest for a view of the diverse surroundings.
