Oparara Basin Arches, Karamea. Not a Great Walk but Still Amazing
We take a beautiful day trip to the Oparara Basin near Karamea, at the Northern tip of the West Coast, NZ. We check out the huge Oparara Limestone Arches, Moira Gate Arch, the Crazy Paving cave, Box Canyon cave, and enjoy a short walk around the Mirror Tarn. This small corner of Kahurangi National Park is home to many excellent short walks, that may not be official “Great Walks” but are amazing in their own right. If you are wanting a day trip from Westport, or have finished the Heaphy Track and are after some easy nearby hikes to stretch your legs, these are well worth a visit. We were happy to see that the road to the Oparara Basin was well maintained and accessible with our van.
