Mangaone Caves Track
- Location
- This reserve is 40 km from Wairoa, 6 km up the narrow, winding and unsealed Mangaone Valley Road. Turn off SH 2, approximately 4 km north of Nuhaka or 5 km south of Morere Springs.
- Description
The public track to the limestone cave follows a poled route over farmland. Once past the first steep section, magnificent views of the coast can be seen.
At the caves, wooden steps lead into the main cavern. Two passages, approximately 3 metres above the floor of the main cavern, are reached by ladders.
Mangaone Caves offers visitors an excellent, easily accessible first time caving experience close to Gisborne.
