This is our third trip with Marcus. He is polite, knowledgeable, on time and has a great boat. We walked the Wairākau stream track to Lane Cove, then up Duke's Head. Then Marcus dropped us back to Tōtara North. Highly recommend

we walked to Lane cove independently - there is no listing separate for Lane cove - a true gem in this region - we booked for 4, and it was full according to the doc site - but only 2 other people stayed - so it was super quiet - very special location, a true gem - and we will most definitely be back

Fantastic walk overlooking whangaroa harbour. Amazing views and adventurous climb with a short cliff climb with the aid of a steel hand rail. Water was an amazing colour with dramatic volcanic cliffs all around. Water taxi pick up. Nice place to swim but take reef shoes or teva sandals for the oysters. Water taxi even take you back to your car. Alternatively do a return walk.

Our kids. (age 6 and 9) loved it. enjoyed the cliff climmb and swim.
