WALKS AND PARK INFO: Short walks are a great alternative to the 3 day 'Great Walk'; tramp less, see and do more. If it's the views, beaches, trees, falls and other Waikaremoana experiences you're after, and can live without ticking the box next to 'Great Walk', then why not spend 3 nights at the Tuai Suite in comfort instead of 1 and venture forth on Waikaremoana's amazing short walks. You can choose from 30 minute to full day walks. Water taxi bookings at "Te Urewera Visitor Centre (Kura Whenua)". Road closures listed on the NZTA website under "Check state highways". Road SH38 is OK for small cars but 60km of windy narrow gravel via Murupara. Mobile coverage is Vodafone and 2degrees only.
