Kai Iwi Lakes

Three fresh water dune lakes provide myriad water sport opportunities. Swim, windsurf, sail, fish for trout or simply have a picnic. You can walk around the 3 lakes by following the contour of the land. The Taharoa domain is 2.5 kms from the Tasman Sea and a walking track to the coast crosses farmland before dropping down sand dunes and a low cliff to the beach. From where the Lakes track meets the beach it is a 1.5 hour walk to the rocky base of Maunganui Bluff at Aranga Beach to the north. Allow 3-4 hours return.
