Harwoods Hole

good hole. Very big deep hole- deepest in southern hemisphere. Do not bring children- a few steps off the path brings you to very inviting, deep and dangerous cave holes that children could climb into. Otherwise lovely! requires a level of agility towards the end of the walk.

Nice walk to the pothole. Last 400m with lots of rocks to climb over. Take enough time to get there and back. It is a massive hole!

We'll worth the walk. Don't miss the summit track.

Harwoods Hole in Tasman is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to New Zealand. This stunning natural wonder is located in the Abel Tasman National Park and is easily accessible by foot or bike. The hole is world-renowned for its incredible depth, reaching over 357 meters!Visiting Harwoods Hole was an unforgettable experience. We were blown away by the sheer size of the hole - it’s hard to describe just how immense it is until you see it in person. We hiked to the hole on the Harwoods Track, which was a beautiful walk in its own right. The track winds through the park and offers stunning views of the lush green landscape.Once we arrived at Harwoods Hole, we were greeted by the sight of the giant sinkhole. It’s truly awe-inspiring, and we spent a long time just gazing down into the abyss. We could hear the sound of water far below, and it really felt like we were truly experiencing the raw power of nature.Overall, I would highly recommend a visit to Harwoods Hole to anyone traveling to New Zealand. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you won’t regret. Just be sure to bring comfortable shoes and plenty of water!

Was a very airy feeling and strong vibes in this place. I'm glad we didn't camp here. Did the walk and was impressed but not, really had to be careful where you walk that's for sure

This was a great short walk. Lots of campers there too. There were toilets and fresh water there too. Recommend a visit

A great short walk to the hole with beautiful forest and rock formations. The hole is incredible but a little frightening with no barriers or viewing platform.There is a short 10 minute detour to a lookout with stunning views that is well worth doing, but again has no barrier or viewing platform.

Wonderful walk in the shade and cool below the beech tree canopy. Go to the lookout at the fork (right) the view is spectacular. We're older and wore boots but younger adults were even doing this walk in flipflops. The 11 km dirt road drive to the starting point was slow, sub 20 kmh to keep rocks from damaging my small rental car. There was tap water in the car park and TP in the pit toilet.

Been b4 it apears to have had a big collapse i don't remember climbing over so many very large rock at the front of the hole . Still enjoyed the challenge
