Truman Track

15 minutes to coastline from the main Coast Road (3km past Punakaiki). Walk through unspoiled sub-tropical forest where podocarp and Rata trees tower above thickets of vines and nikau palms. The track emerges on a spectacular coastline with cliffs, caverns, a blowhole and waterfall which plummets straight onto a rock-strewn beach. A stairway provides access to the beach, which may be safely explored when the tide is out.
