🌿 Hidden Gem Alert! Cook Cove Walkway near Gisborne
📍 Just 1 hour’s drive from Gisborne, this short but stunning trail leads to a magical sea cave. 🥾 Hike Details: Duration: ~1 hour to the cave (2 hours return). Difficulty: Beginner-friendly (but one friend’s legs were wrecked for 3 days… so YMMV! 😅). Reward: Totally worth it—the cave is otherworldly! 🌊 Extra Adventure: Another path from the cave leads to windy cliffs with epic ocean views 🌊 (hold onto your hats!). 💡 Pro Tips: ✔️ Wear sturdy shoes (some rocky sections). ✔️ Check tides – safer access to the cave at low tide. ✔️ Pack water + snacks (no facilities nearby). #NewZealand #OffTheBeatenPath #NorthIslandNZ #RoadTripNZ #TravelNZ
