Beautiful view, but this takes around 4 hours for circuit. Be prepared.

The Pararaha Valley is the midpoint between Karekare and Whatipu. It can be used for shorter loop walks from either end or become the midpoint if you go from one to the other. You go up the hill from either side and descend to the valley. Although there are boardwalks in some places, the other places were quite wet as it traversed through the wetland. We had to cross the stream to get across and it was about thigh high. There is a campground in the area on the Whatipu side of the stream. There is also an access point from the track to the beach but the walk might require going through patches of water (it was high tide when we got there). It was fairly difficult trying to find it from the beach as there is no signage. The walk here was fairly tiring as we had done the beach walk from Whatipu to Karekare and then gone up and down the Zion hill tracks to get here and then up the Muir track to get back to Whatipu. Really quiet and nice views from the top of the Muir track staircase.
Beautiful place
