It is so wonderful to have such great free experiences here in NZ/great barrier. The walk itself took us around an hour so total trip was about 1hr 20min including a quick soak in the pools, so if you’re a fast walker don’t budget on the 2 hour return it says on the sign. The walk is very gentle with some small inclines and definitely not strenuous.

There are no changing rooms but there is a toilet at each end. …

Walking maps freely available at the airport.…

Wonderful spot - best bathing on a cool day.…
