    I walked a dozen waterfalls on my 3 week holiday to nz. This was easily the best. Excellent viewing platforms. From multiple locations. Track well maintained. Toilets at start of track, and its a long walk back if you decided to skip them on the way in. The drive was longer than I thought. But well worth it.

    Nice black volcanic sand beach with beautiful views before you drive down into the carpark. It is a surf beach, so you must swim between the flags. Personally I don't find these beaches the type I want to swim at but great fun for body boarding and surfing.

    Brilliant ride with Wayne and River. Horses are well looked after and suited to all level of riders. Incredible scenery as you ride through the farm down to the beach, and you can’t beat a canter along the black sand of Ruapuke. Highly recommend a ride with these guys, whether you’re a total newbie or more experienced.

    Around a 15 minute drive from Manu Bay up a winding dirt road round some hairpin corners you are rewarded with stunning views.
    The lookout car park is not very big and was full of what must have been trampers cars.
    The lookout platform is maybe 100m from the carpark and offers stunning views up the Coast. It is a sheer drop underneath so not for the those scared of heights. You can also walk down the hill a bit with more views. Definitely worth the drive out!

    My lovely wife and I decided to do a little detour on our way back from the Fantail Falls. We were so glad we did as this lovely beach is just breath taking. There's a few hundred metre walk from the carpark over the sand dunes to some of the best and most consistent set of surf breaks I've ever seen. No wonder people rave about the surf at Raglan. Well worth going for a swim, a surf or a walk. Really peaceful and almost pristine. Thoroughly recommended.

    The track is steep at the beginning and well marked. The track is easy to follow and there are lots of rocks to clamber over. There is a section where there are chains and a steep ladder to connect the track. There is another section where there is a chain that goes up about 30 metres. I would suggest going with at least one other able person but otherwise it's adventurous!

    We enjoyed sitting here in our picnic rug watching the surfers and the sun going down over the hill yo our left. It was a nice way to spend an hour with a glass of wine.

    It's no bush trail as you walk mainly on a gravel road but the towers are huge. There was only one other car their when we went
