2026-03-20 • Wairere Boulders - Trounson Kauri Forest

- kms drive.
2 days here.
9 photos taken.
0 walks walked.


We woke up early in the morning to go up to Magic Rock - part of the private hikes of the campsite. We had really cool views, very foggy and finished above the clouds.

After that we did a very nice vibes roadtrip day, stopping by Rawene for laundry and lunch, through a couple of beach towns and finally at the Tāne Mahuta (one of the sacred kauri trees) that looked ancient and wise.

We finished the day in the Trounson forest park where we camped for two nights. The second day we went to the very blue lake Taharoa but didn’t take any cool pictures.

We also stopped in a kauri shop where I bought some spare kauri bits - I have plans to make something for the van :D
