We had an easy breakfast and headed down to the beach for our 11am pickup. Originally we were going all the way to Tōtaranui but the shuttle folks said they weren’t going up there. So we lucked out with the lodge and our pickup just down a small track.
The ride back to Kaiteriteri was pretty cool, with stops at the huts along the way to pickup and dropoff people. In Kaiteriteri we had treats and chips before heading to Mapua for the night.
