Meeting in Thames we head through town and onto the Kauaeranga valley road, which winds its way up to the gravel road at the beginning of the Department of conservation land, where we explore the trails, hill climbs and single track (depending on your fitness level), swimming trunks are worth bringing for a dip at one of the waterholes along the way.
DAY 1 - Thames to the Pinnacles
Meeting in Thames, we drive up the Kauaeranga valley to the end of the road where we begin our trek up to the Pinnacles following some of the original trails used by the Kauri loggers 150 years ago, once their you will have time to settle into the hut and walk up to the Pinnacles for the view. After dinner and when the sun goes down, we go and check out the night life in the bush and streams.

After breakfast there is a chance to explore, maybe up to the Pinnacles again or we take you to the dancing creek dam and a large Kauri stump cut down during the logging, then we pack up and head off taking the Billy goat track out to the vehicles.
