Saturday Matarangi wetlands and bluff 2.5-3 hours, Wainuiototo Bay / New Chums Beach 30 mins each way plus lunch / swim, and then the Kaipawa Trig Track from Whangapoua Road through to the Tokatea lookout TBC. Then return to Coromandel Town via one of two alternate routes – double back to the trig and go down the Success Track or continue directly down the Kennedy Bay Road. 3-4 hours dependent on walk option.
