Not to eat and to behave with respect.
This serious etiquette visitors should observed in the Spirit Bay, Cape Reinga. Yes, Spirit Bay, as the name connotes, this is the "place of leaping" which the people living there called the Maoris believe that at the moment of their death, their soul will journey to Cape Reinga where they climb down the roots of the Pohutakawa tree to dive into the Spirit Bay which is said to be the final destination of the spirit world.
Quite scary, right? But that is their belief. See it for real, then head your feet and get ready to transport to this place's sacred place within the Moari tradition by road and on the beach from Kaitaia. Or, if you don't want to see it for real, then go to the Subritsky/Wagener Homestead and Museum and Ninety Mile Beach instead.
