Sightseeing

Kinloch to Kawakawa (K2K) Time (one way): 2 hr walk, 1 hr 30 min mountain bike Distance: 9 km The track to Kawakawa Bay begins at the western end of the beach to the right of the parking area. Glorious views feature as the track climbs from Whangamata Bay and sidles along the top of a broad cliff. The bush is dominated by rewarewa but look out for the giant matai too. Once you reach the rocky lookout the track winds down into Kawakawa Bay. Here there is a shelter, toilet and plenty of opportunities for a swim or lakeside picnic. Return via the same track, or link with the Orakau trail. Orakau Time (one way): 3 hr walk, 1 hr mountain bike Distance: 10 km From the carpark on Whangamata Road, the trail follows the Orakau Stream and wetland through regenerating native bush down to the beach at Kawakawa Bay. The trail is generally downhill and offers views across Lake Taupō. Return via the same track, or continue on to Kinloch via the K2K.
