Walk to a viewing structure at possibly the most diverse and extensive entrance and twilight-zone flora of any cave in New Zealand. The walk to the cave entrance is not that interesting, and involves lots of switchbacks. If you only have a few days in Golden Bay, do the other hikes in the area first. From Takaka, head northwest along Abel Tasman Drive. At the ‘t’ junction at Motupipi, turn right onto Glenview Rd, then left onto Packard Rd. Follow Packard Rd for 2.6 km until you see a DOC arrow on the left side of the road indicating the turnoff to the track. Follow the farm road, and open and close the farm gate behind you. The car park is a small grassed area.
