Tawhai Falls
The track leads down to a viewing point near the top of Tawhai Falls, where you can watch the river tumble over the edge of an ancient lava flow. There is then the option to continue down more steps to the river’s edge, where there is a view of the river and a more distant view of the falls. The river is fast-flowing and the rocks on the riverbank can be slippery.

Whakapapanui Track
Follow Whakapapanui Stream and enjoy the shelter of the forest. Water-logged clearings are passed as the track follows Whakapapanui Stream. Here, storm damaged beech forest is slowly regenerating. Keep a look out along the river for the endangered whio/blue duck. They are the same colour as the rocks so can be very difficult to spot, but you may hear the male’s whistling call.

Keep an eye out for fur seals/kekeno. Crystal-clear waters of Tonga Island Marine Reserve. The track is well marked and signposted, but some sections may be steep and rough and the track could be muddy. There is one compulsory tidal crossing – check the tide tables for when it's safe to cross. Part of the Abel Tasman NP. Easy but challenging walk on well maintained coastal track. Day walks are possible as drop off and pick up by water taxi is available. Combining with sea kayaking amongst the seal colony is a special experience.
