Day trip from Nelson. Is about 1 hour away. Can only enter park by water taxi. We had Wilsons booked at 9.20 who dropped us of at Awaroa Lodge at 11.15 and picked us up from Tango Quarry at 14 50.

After lunch, OK but expensive, we set of on 4.7km walk through the bush to pick up point. Told it would take 1.5 to 1. 75 hours. I was very pleased to do it in 2 hours!!! Not easy for old codgers.

Pick up and then drive home. Knackered!!
