Tuahu Kauri walking tracks

Nice nature walk up to a look out on top of a rock great views

Starts out gentle to the massive kauri, then kicks into step incline and low gear quite suddenly.Lots of tree roots the whole way so need to watch your steps carefully. It's hard, but do try to avoid the tree roots if at all possible, and step on the dirt instead, to prevent damage. I have seen some other's photos of bluw toadstools up this track, but didn't see any ourselves. Keep your eyes peeled tho, you never know!Probably would be quite slippery in the wet, and this is steep, so good footwear is a must. Boots not essential, but made a big difference.Very windy and cold the day we got to the lookout so I'd recommend taking a warm layer. There's not really anywhere to sit, not a picnic destination.Nice track, not too hard if you're reasonably fit.

Excellent track, easily accessible, wide enough to take a pushchair if you're that keen. It even has a loo.More strenuous options available, but the walk to the kauri trees is easy and spectacular.

Nice little walk with some tidy young Kauri along the track as well as various other natives including Totara, Miro, Rata, Rimu and Kamahi. I couldn't make it up to the Tuahu Kauri platform because of a fallen tree but no big deal as it was nice to get into the bush in a wheelchair. Definitely needed the help of my partner to get through the Kauri dieback cleaning station with the steps involved - all part of the adventure! The track is generally a steady climb which was 95% doable with a freewheel and fats". No steps until you get to the loop track to the platform."

Nice spot for a day hike, spectacular views across the valey from the sentinel rock track

Excellent walk, well maintained gravel path, 20 mins in to see spectacular kauri trees & 20 mins back to car park. Well signed posted. Want to do the longer walk another day.

Nice and easy Kauri track. Choice of shorter round track and longer day or multi day hikes up un the ranges.

Hike starting at Hotsprings Road. Can join onto the North South track (experience needed) and to the Motutapere hut. Around 4.5 hours from the carpark including the side walk to Sentinel Rock. Highly recommended area to hike in

Nice stroll down to the way up .... Then it's a straight path UP ∆∆∆ all the way up to Sentinel Rock Lookout .... Then turn and take the path to the left, and follow for about 10 minutes to reach the lower side of the rock....way up to the actual rock is closed due to subsidence.

Easy walk lovely bush. We walked it in the Misty rain and it was still beautiful
