Also known as "Dukes Nose" or "the Ha Long bay of NZ"

Duke's Nose (Kairara Rocks) Track offers the perfect way to explore the serene panoramic views of Whangaroa Harbour in Northland. Enjoy some serious sightseeing with a 45 minute uphill tramp through native coastal forest and take pleasure in an ocean vista from atop Kaiaarara Rocks. A great outdoor adventure awaits! You'll be rewarded with a variety of New Zealand wildlife as you climb up, and your drive out will be just as scenic. Don't forget to make use of the day shelter and DOC markers to stay safe and on track - because who doesn't want that bird's eye view?
