| The
Boulder
Loop
track starts
on the left
valley side of the Wairere Boulders. It can be enjoyed even in wet
conditions. It takes about 1 hour
to walk the track. Good walking shoes are still necessary as the ground can be
slippery or the metal can be loose and roll. The track leads over many stairs, steps and bridges up the valley to the lower part of the boulders. There is a side loops which is worth seeing, the Dragon's Cave. |

If you want to see the valley from the top, you have to walk up to the platform which is an additional 1 1/2 hours (return). The track leads along the right valley side up to the platform. |
From there one can enjoy the view downwards over the boulder valley, right down to the waters of the Hokianga Harbour.
