After a morning of discovery, enjoy lunch at a local café serving fresh regional dishes.

In the afternoon, visit Hunua Ranges Regional Park. Hike through native forest alive with birdsong and end at the dramatic Hunua Falls, where water tumbles over volcanic rock into a clear pool—a perfect place to relax.
