Cape Reinga functions as New Zealand's spiritual and geographic endpoint, where visitors make pilgrimage-like journeys to witness the meeting of two oceans from dramatic clifftops.

The lighthouse and viewing areas create a focused experience of arrival and contemplation.

Cabo da Roca offers the same experience as Finisterre of standing at Europe's literal edge, complete with commemorative stone markers and certificates of arrival.
