Actually one of the greatest short walks one can do in NZ!
Allow 3 hours one-way; through real native forest, two streams to be forded, along rocky volcanic cliff faces, to the stunning West Arm of the Whangaroa Harbour. Allow yourselves (upon pre-arrangement) to be collected by water taxi for the return to your car, so giving you a look at this pristine, Jurassic-like harbour!
