Geocache Description:


This is a popular scenic stop at the top of the hill between Coromandel Town and Whangapoua Turnoff (SH25).

Fantastic views to the North of Coromandel Town and South, taking in Matarangi and Kuaotunu from this scenic lookout. Seats and rock platform  aid your viewing reach.


Below the scenic lookout is the Kaipawa Trig Track approx 2 ½ hours to the Lucas Lookout parking area. Choice of either walking one way and being picked up at the other end or walking to the Kaipawa Trig and returning to the Coromandel End. Please note warnings to keep to tracks because of overgrown mine entrances in this area.

Have placed the cache up the bottom track away from the carpark to give people a chance to find and sign when its busy here.  Hopefully we have more success with this spot. Please make sure it is well covered. Thank you.

Don’t forget to walk up and admire the view.


The Cache is a 1L sistema-like container with swaps.  Log is inside a marked pill bottle. There is a pen in the cache. Stash note. Swaps and some pathtags.
