Truly a magical spot. I initiated a Hawaii friend by taking him out via the tunnel on a big day. Emerald green paddle-through .. and eyes like saucers as we popped out the far end, just as a large set arrived.

Ha, Karekare hasn't changed at all. GF's cousin has bought a "house" up a goat track along the Karekare road. Kind of cool these days, a mixture of hippies, artists and multi millionaires.
