Bay of the Boisterous Seas Piha & Karekare

About this activity

Join us on a magical day at the West Coast, discovering stunning waterfalls, mystique rainforest and then finding a cave after a short 30 min hilly, but easy walk. After a short climb you will be rewarded with stunning views over the Tasman Sea and Lion Rock. This tour will absolutely rejuvenate you while experiencing how the locals live. We would love to share this beautiful part of the world with you.

Famed for its natural beauty, Karekare is a star of movies and television. It's a treasured part of Te Wao nui a Tiriwa, the Waitakere Ranges.

Leaving the crowds behind us, we will leave Auckland on our 50-60 minute drive to the wild West Coast. Enjoy the wonderful nature on a walk through mystic rainforest, dip your toe in the waterfall "pool" and be fascinated by the beauty and ruggedness of the Wild West Coast.

Experience the Bay of the Boisterous Seas where untamed beauty meets adventure. Your exclusive private tour awaits.
