Walk the path of the old Kauri Bushmen

The forest was mostly decimated by logging until 1920 but is now regenerating. It is now one of the best examples of NZ forest, thick green bush with waterfalls and streams. The Kauaeranga Kauri trail and the Pinnacles combine to create an awesome 5-7 hour hike. Take wet weather gear as in all cases in NZ and enough food and water for the day.

Our Shuttle departs daily for the valley we head 25kms into the forest and drop you off at the road end. We stop at DOC on the way for maps and hut passes for those wanting a few days in the forest. We collect you in the afternoon and in the summer we stop for a swim in a fantastic waterhole. Journey time approx 1 hour each way. Click Here to View the Pinnacle Gallery
