Beautiful walk with stream crossings, native bush with kauri, rimu tanekaha and plenty of bird life.

The track is one-way, but can be made into a loop by taking Mokoroa Stream Track up to one of the highlights in the area – Mokoroa Falls. Just before the falls, the stream track meets up with Mokoroa Falls Track, which leads back to your car.

It’s a tougher track than you may think though and the circuit should take 3-4 hours.
