A hike down into the Waipu Gorge to find Piroa Falls, a short car drive away from Sam’s house.

A very short hike to the falls, but this is as close as you can get to the falls, the steep gorge walls and slippery, muddy terrain impedes any further progress.

But thanks to the drone we can get a great view!

A leisurely drive across land to the sea. A nice view of the dairy cow paddocks in the hills above the estuary of the Arapaoa River where the boats anchor near the tiny resort town of Pahi.
