Walking

There are many options for day walks from Awaroa Lodge.

Awaroa Lodge is located in the middle of 2 tidal crossings. This is crucial when planning your day walks from Awaroa.

You have 2 hours either side of low tide to cross the Awaroa Inlet heading north.

You have 4 hours either side of low tide to cross the tidal crossing at Onetahuti heading south.

Due to the nature of the tides, most walks will involve walking in one direction and catching a water taxi to get back to the Lodge.

Here are 2 examples of day walks from Awaroa

Remote Mutton Cove

Catch the early morning water taxi to Mutton Cove in the north of the park. From there, you can walk to Separation Point and view the Seal Colony. From there, you can walk back to Totaranui and catch a water taxi or for the more energetic continue all the way back to the Lodge.

Anchorage/Torrent Bay

Catch a water taxi down to Anchorage/Torrent Bay where your walk will begin. Enjoy some of the best scenery of the coastal track between Torrent and Bark Bay and continue up to Onetahuti and back over the hill to Awaroa. Depending on the tides, this walk can be done in reverse.
