Free access with a roadside carpark and short walks to viewpoints; trails include steps and exposed edges. Best at golden hour for warm light on cliffs, or overcast for long-exposure silky water. Weather is changeable — waterproof gear and sturdy shoes recommended. Respect wāhi tapu and local tikanga; check NZ
