Nice regional park with wonderful beaches along the walkway to the Cathedral Cove.

Depending on the arrival time, limited car parking spaces might be a pain in the axx. Just have to be patient and wait for your turn as people comes and goes.

45 mins walk to the final destination the Cathedral Cove, a bit challenging for elderly or young ones, must wear sun cream and a hat, unless you wanted to be toasted.

Cove is an amazing place with lots of tourists. Plenty of nice photo spots and it's a natural wonder that you must find...

Wow!!! Ofcourse didn't fish the Marine Park and you would all be happy to know every fish we brought up that was alive and healthy went back in to fight another day. The only fish we kept which was plenty to eat while staying in This amazing part of the world and have it smoked to bring back home and share with family and friends were the few we weren't quick enough or stong enough to bring in the boat before rhe sharks got at them so cut off the bad bits and filletted the untouched bits and was still enough to feed 7...

exquisite beach and a bucket list to do in NZ. Just a heads up currently is no parking up there you have to catch shuttle from hahei at a cost. every 10 mins so that's very good. from top car park is 40 min walk. this is a very challenging walk for someone unfit so be aware. very steep hills and lots of steps at the end. if you want to take your time with this make sure you come earlier in the day as last shuttle is at 5pm in winter. might be different in summer season. go by boat if a hike is...

Enjoyed Cathedral Cove by arriving by boat. Prefer that option as walking back up hill after a glorious swim in the clean clear water might be miserable in the heat. Many reviewers who walked down and back up still sounded like they enjoyed it nonetheless. Yes it can be crowded for New Zealand standards but compared to European beaches there's still plenty of room. Enjoy your time there as it's very beautiful and lots of fish can be seen in the clear sea water especially if you use a snorkel and mask.

This beach is relatively safer and cleaner to swim, as compared to other beaches. To reach the cove, one has to hike a good half hour from the car park, probably an hour if you were unlucky like me and had to park in town. All that said, it's all worth when you'll find yourself walking on white sand under the cove! There's also a small waterfall on the other end in case you need a quick shower to get rid of the sand.
