Geocache Description:

Located only 750 meters from Raglan township but there is an easy way and a hard way to get there.

The easy way is by kayak or boat across the harbour and the hard way is by car via NARROW TWISTY GRAVEL roads. My family have done it both ways and much prefer the first option! The terrain has been set to 1 star as a person in a wheelchair can get right to the cache by choosing the land route providing that they don’t get carsick.

Lots of interesting pancake rocks and sea caves to explore close by. If you don’t have a boat there are some small caves at S37 47.478 E174 51.889 that can be accessed on foot when the tide is not right in. One of the locals told me that a 14 kg Kingfish was caught from the rocks 20 meters from the cache only a week ago (Jan 07) and pan sized Snapper are also caught here regularly.

The only safety warning is for the kayakers – Raglan Harbour is known for its strong tidal currents so avoid getting too close to the harbour entrance on an outgoing tide. Check the tide charts and pick a nice day and you won’t have any problems.

Approach GZ from the road. Take care with children as there is a drop off immediately below GZ.
