Impressive sight to see such a mammoth of a tree still alive but also makes you a wee bit sad to think of everything that has been felled. That said still a really great attraction t I appreciate it’s magnificence. The kids really enjoyed the experience going on an little adventure through the nahare. Handy to have a little coffee cart across the road too for a morning snack and a coffee afterwards.

Worth walking out to, whatever the weather, as the view across the legendary sandhill is excellent. Expansive vantage point for views of the coastline and ocean. Really makes you appreciate the scale and size of the Hokianga harbour. The bar looks challenging!

The staff member recommended we back track and do the Kauri Walks. So grateful for this advice and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Make sure you go at low tide. The boulders are excellent examples of concretions, some of them are 2-3 metres in diameter. It is estimated some of the largest boulders may have taken 4 million years to grow. We spent nearly an hour walking along the beach and back to the car park. Don't wear your best shoes if it is wet.

Amazing to see the statue again. It had been a long time. It is still in good nick. Glad the dolphin is being remembered for the friendly dolphin it was.
