The Charleston section of the Kawatiri Coastal Trail is a highlight for visitors who enjoy gentle cycling.
The surface is well maintained, gradients are manageable, and the scenery varies between forest pockets, limestone formations and open coastal stretches.
You do not need to be a serious cyclist to enjoy it. A half day allows time to pause, take photographs and simply absorb the landscape.
It works beautifully within a three night stay, leaving time to enjoy the quieter moments as well.
