Meander through stunning Nikau forest and native bush which is shady in the summer and sheltered in the rain making this an all year-round favourite.

Wildlife galore on the beach with nesting rare New Zealand dotterels and supple jack, epiphytes, giant tree ferns and rata vine are just some of the flora along the route. Tūī, pīwakawaka (fantails), kererū (wood pigeons) and kōtare (kingfisher) may be seen in the bush making this a wildlife wonder!

Reward yourself with lunch at Batch winery with a glass of house wine or beer and delicious shared platters (and bus transfers) included in the price.

Walking poles are advised as the Cascades can be slippery, especially after rainfall.
