Geocache Description:

The cache is located along the Turakirae Head coastline.

Those who are keen can explore the rugged boulders with the possibility of spotting various marine wildlife including seals! If you are interested in climbing any of the boulders I suggest you purchase a guide book.

Remember, look out for the Eye of the Tiger! I hope that this cache brings you good luck!


Turakirae Head is a promontory on the southern coast of New Zealand's North Island. It is located at the western end of Palliser Bay, 20 kilometers southeast of Wellington, at the southern end of the Rimutaka Ranges.

The head is an excellent example of tectonic uplift within the Wellington region. There are a series of raised terraces which show where the beach has been prior to a seismic event. This terrain is especially good for rock climbing and is home to some of the best boulder problems in the North Island.

Turakirae Head is also home to a seal colony.

The cache has been constructed from a simple plastic container. The container has been camouflaged using silver waterproof tape.
