  • Very nice walks.

    The road is only for max 2.8m tall cars (so no RV) amd quite narrow and bumpy with some washboards. We did it with a campervan (Jucy Chaser Hittop) amd it was doable but a confident driver is important.

  • Mostly well signposted through thick rainforest walks.

    Gorgeous. Walks to the Mirror Tarn and Moria Arch and Oparara Arch were all stunning.

  • Beautiful walk to the arch, the arch is stunning!

    Take repellant because there are lots of sandflies. Can be slippery, so stay on the paths and be safe!

  • Beautiful bush walk and an amazing huge arch with a river flowing through it and pretty cool stalactites and stalagmites.

  • The narrow bumpy drive in to this DOC managed area was well worth it.

    In particular, the Moria Gate Arch track was a superb one hour walk through beautiful forest to a breathtaking natural arch.

  • Exciting road to carpark - not good for motorhomes because of potholes.

    Nice, easy walks to the stunning arches. Beautiful scenery and a lot to discover here.

  • A good unsealed road into Kahurangi National park.

    Many long walking tracks. We only did the short ones (Free!)

  • The tracks are realatively new.

    The way along the Oparara river is great and the arches are awesome. But mind the road to the tracks. Driving there is hard and not for everyone.

  • This walk is so worth the painful gravel access road.

    One of the best walks and scenery.
