We went up the Pinnacles from the Kauaeranga Road carpark up the Webb Creek Trail. We stayed the night at the Pinnacles hut and then walked back to the carpark through the Billygoat Trail. The trail near the top had amazing views of the forest area around the pinnacles. It was quite scenic all around the area. There were also plenty of other camping and tramping options around the area. The trails all crisis cross with each other so looking at the right trail for your experience isn't too difficult.

Only take 2-3 minutes to walk up- nice view down into the bush from the viewing platform. Would recommend for Kauri lovers.

The Coromandel Coastal Walkway borders the northern Coromandel coastline between Stony and Fletcher Bays, following an old bridle path formed by early pioneers. It is a 10km (one way) hike that encapsulates the best scenery The Coromandel has to offer. It offers plenty of variety as it winds through regenerative native forest, farmland and rocky shoreline.

We did an overnight trip to do the Coastal Walk. We stayed in Fletcher's Bay Campground and the walk goes to the Stony Bay campgrounds, just follow the orange trail marks. The return trip took us about 6 hours at a fairly leisurely pace. I found that the walk itself was mostly easy with a light gradient. The start bit from Fletcher's Bay was quite an uphill and there was also a section near Poley Bay in the middle of the walk that had a steep downhill and uphill section. The views along the walk was very scenic. The views over the water to the various islands was really nice. There was also a lookout which had a nice view of the surrounds which included our destination, Stoney Bay. It was a bit of a climb to get to the lookout though, but it was short (about 5 minutes). The walk from Fletcher's Bay was on farmland so it was quite open. After that section, most of the walk was covered under the bush which was quite nice. The path was fairly wide, possibly due to that being a biking path too. There were also a few stops along the way between the campsites including Poley Bay and a lookout point. It was quite an enjoyable day tramp.

Excellent close up viewing of majestic, magnificent trees, they are stunning. Great short walk through thick forest along an easy track. Most information says about 8kms of unsealed road along road 309 to the forest. Actually, about 3kms of this is sealed, leaving about 5kms unsealed. Take it easy on the road, it is narrow, often cambered the wrong way on bends and with some pot holes, but OK.

Great walk to the summit and site of a Maori Pa, can't wait for the forest to be cleared of Privet and other bad plants so the natives can continue to grow through. The view from the top is second to none. Would love to learn more about the Pa site.
