About this place

Added by Kyle Frost

Incredible coastal hiking with pristine sandy beaches and vividly tropical water. One of New Zealand's Great Walks. 25km hike.

While the full track can take multiple days to complete, this adventure describes a section that can be completed in a long day hike.

Leaving from Marahau, take a water taxi north to Bark Bay. Here, you'll begin hiking south back to Marahau, a trip of around 25km. The trail winds down the coast, eventually reaching Torrent Bay, which if you time incorrectly can add mileage to your hike because of the high tide.

For a shorter hike, you can arrange for a water taxi to pick you up here, or continue south past beautiful bays and beaches back to your car in Marahau.
