Cruise into the heart of the National Park aboard our Vista Cruise vessel with full commentary to introduce you to this fascinating coastline.

Disembark at idyllic Medlands Beach. From here, walk to the long golden-sand beach of Anchorage, via Torrent Bay. The track weaves through sunny groves of Manuka and fern between breathtaking views of the granite coast and lush gullies of mature forest, to reach tranquil forest pools. Cross the rushing Falls River by an impressive swing bridge.

Allow extra time to take a short side track beside a crystal forest stream to visit tranquil Cleopatra's Pool (allow 20 minutes return walk plus time to relax beside the pool).
