From the sheltered beach at Kaiteriteri, cruise past the sulpted granite headlands and islands of the Astrolabe Roadstead. Pause to view the long, golden, forest-fringed beaches of Torrent Bay. Disembark at Medlands Beach.
A 10 minute stroll takes you to popular, sheltered Bark Bay with its pleasantly shaded camping area. Swim in calm azure waters, sunbathe or relax in the shade of native forest trees. A forested track around the estuary (4 kms or 2.5 miles) takes you to Bark Bay Falls (approx. 1 hour return).
Rejoin the Vista Cruise at Medlands Beach to return to Kaiteriteri where your coach awaits for transfer back to Motueka or Nelson if required. If self-driving, time for a celebratory drink and dinner at a local cafe.
