Description

Walk to a viewing structure at possibly the most diverse and extensive entrance and twilight-zone flora of any cave in New Zealand. Just after you leave the carpark you cross Dry River. From here, the marked route continues up the valley for 30 minutes and turns sharply right. It then climbs steeply for a further 30 minutes. The last section of the track is steep and narrow reasonable fitness and tramping experience are required for this section. The cave entrance and viewing platform are after this section. Rawhiti Cave is signposted from near the end of Packard Road through private property to an informal carpark. Leave the gates as you find them. No dogs.
