Karangahake Gorge - WALK/BIKE/BEACH DAY

Hi team we are planning on hitting this again this year, but making it even better by giving you as a family more options.

We are meeting at the Gorge at 9:30 - which would mean leaving Manurewa at 8am to live tike for a toilet stop on the way.

Morning option one - the walk: The Karangahake Rail Tunnel Walk it is about 1 hour 20 minutes long but super fun and easy - including to massive swing bridges - the giant tunnel and a super adventurous river track this is probably once of the most scenic  adventurous yet easy tracks the North island has to offer

Morning option two - the ride: the ride through the tunnel and along the Karangahake Gorge bike trial  -Approx 20 min each way with a 20 min adventurous rest stop at Gold old min ruins.

Lunch : We all drive to the ruins for a lunch stop ( toilets on site )

Beach adventure - for those keen to venture on we will go to Waihi beach for the afternoon - if the surf is small we will hit the surf club end for some body boarding Parking on Savage Ave - next to Brighton Reserve - if its to big and ruff we will head down to Anzac Bay for Swim and hit up some jump spots !!!.

The drive to the Gorge  is about 1 and 10 min  hour. Its about another 25 min drive to the beach.

What to bring:

  • Bikes for those who want to ride

  • Helmet

  • Togs

  • A change of clothes

  • Sunscreen

  • bodyboard / Surfboard for the beach
