Walk in Karangahake, Bay of Plenty
100% Recommended
Just under 40 minutes drive from our accommodation, there are several beautiful walks in the Karangahake gorge. We opted to do the popular windows walk which takes you through historic gold mining tunnels and features awesome views into the valley, swing bridges and mining remnants.
