Nice place to learn a bit of history. The drawings are fading unfortunately; and the foreign scribbles by vandals around the precious drawings are distasteful.

Steam boat was good. Got us close to the drawings which were interesting. Disappointing that the biggest one, which was the one you can see in great details, is a modern addition.

Small trail with good big limestone rocks with historic drawings. The site is being restored or has arrangements in place to keep it from falling. It was a bit difficult to figure out the drawings, we could only see 1 clearly.

Good for stretching legs, but the drawing have mostly been damaged or removed. Still nice to see, and has an abundant bird life and she'll fossils can be seen in the sand stone rocks formation.No toilets but there are bins and a picnic table. Also phone reception is good

I was very excited to see Maori rock drawings, expecting to witness an important cultural heritage. In fact you see some rounded lines and simple patterns which are not older than 200 years, very primitive compared to the heritage of stone age cultures in Europe or Turkey. And according to the explanation boards yet no-one knows why this red colour was used. Caught between funny and weird.

It's a great spot to explore. A 5 minute walk from the carpark. I can't think of a better place to get out to stretch your legs. Well presented information and the art itself was incredible for its age and detail.

This was a spontaneous stop, but unfortunately did not live up to the hype built up by the delightfully informative content boards. The paintings were underwhelming. Amazing to see what is still there, but so sad to see how disrespectful the public and tourists have been to the paintings over time. Take some time to read the information boards, they are interesting.

We were on a road trip and heading towards Aomaru on highway 83 and spotted the Brown Tourist Attraction signs for Maori Rock Art. Took us awhile to turn around safely to visit this historical sight. The information regarding when and how these Rock paintings were created is interesting.

Upgraded for the geopark and a nice wee walk with good signage, seems like some other walkers didnt know what to expect.

Certainly a good bit of history, information boards are very informative. Some amazing rock formations and photo opportunities, Lots of nesting birds in the rock face.
