Resolution Bay to Endeavour Inlet

Track Operators Accommodation OperatorsTransport OperatorsActivity Operators

From Resolution Bay the track follows an old bridle path ascending over a ridge and leads down into Endeavour Inlet. The gentle inclining track passes through stands of kamahi and then beech forest as it passes over a saddle.

Then it's a fairly easy walk down past Tawa Bay, through The Pines (holiday settlement with homes, baches, jetties etc) and on towards the areas lodges.

The track then gradually descends through sections of manuka, five finger and mahoe are followed by a magnificent stand of original native bush and crystal clear streams. Slowly snatches of the nearby sea and foreshore come into view.

On the eastern side and head of Endeavour Inlet a range of accommodation options are provided by Blue Water Lodge, Cnoc na Lear, Endeavour Resort & Fishing Lodge, Furneaux Lodge, Miners Camp, No Road Inn, The Woolshed and Tawa Cove Lodge. See the individual operator listings below for further information.

Day walkers normally conclude their walk at the Furneaux Lodge Jetty. Here you can also take a side trip through a magnificent stand of native rain forest to a waterfall.
