Where did you start?
We started walking at the third car park. Here we walked through bush for about 15 min then onto some flat rock which lead us through a barely marked path for 5 min until we could not walk any more as it was just steep cliffs and water. here we sunbathed and watch many boats go past to view the famous maori carvings. We would have been keen to see them but we would have had to swim approximately 200m and it was freezing cold. (Note to self: bring a wetsuit or a inflatable kayak) Definitely going to bring one next time!
