Take a short, enchanting stroll along a boardwalk that leads you through a stunning limestone gorge right under the magnificent Mangapohue Natural Bridge. This easy walk, just a stone's throw from the car park, reveals the impressive 17-metre-high arch, a remnant of an ancient cave system. As you wander, look up to see stalactite-like formations and keep an eye out for 25-million-year-old fossilized oysters embedded in the rock, offering a fascinating glimpse into New Zealand's geological past.
