Went up to the Waitak's again. This time for the introductory hike leaving from the Arataki Visitor Center. On return we enjoyed lunch in the shade there. Afterwards we drove down to Piha Surf Beach then onto Karekare where I went for a swim while the others enjoyed the scenery and the warmth of the sun. After the beach in Karekare I enjoyed a book and a drink under a tree then we all went to see the beautiful falls.

In the Waitak's it's a must to scrub and spray before and after your hike.
