Cruise the tranquil Mahinapua Creek through magnificent scenery and virgin rainforest into picturesque Lake Mahinapua. ![]()
We follow the original Gold Trail Waterway route used by the old paddle steamers which plied the creek last century. Great photographic opportunities for scenery and wildlife.
