Mangapohue, Oparau, Raglan, Bridal Veil Falls, Mt Karioi, and Ngaroto

Early in the morning we visit The Natural Bridge at Mangapohue, the arch was once the roof of a cave.
 


 
From the arch we travel a few kilometres down the road to visit the Marokopa Falls.
 

 
We then took the country roads to Oparau and the Kawhia Harbour.



 
We then head further north to Raglan and its harbour


 
We have another walk to visit the Bridal Veil Falls.


 
Back to the coast and a drive to see Whale and Manu Bay

 
The road then starts to climb steeply up to the Te Toto gorge on Mt Karioi.


 
We spent the night on the shores of Ngaroto lake and before settling down for the night walked around the peat lake a well kept and used 6 km boardwalk ad track.  A lovely ending to a superb day with some wonderful scenery and natural sights.
