Itinerary description

Excellent one way trail from where the Pōhatu Penguins company drops you off to the accommodations. I believe this land is private and can only be accessed if you are with the tour company.

Downhill the whole way, with the second half sunnier than the first. The trail markers become sparse towards the end so I'm not sure we were on the trail towards the end. Detours to a waterfall along the way.
