The day that started with our Hobbiton adventure would end with a hike to Cathedral Cove. It was not a long hike, a little over two hours in total and not too difficult, only a few short inclines and declines, and some stairs.
Cathedral Cove is a gigantic arched cavern that passes through a white rock headland to join two secluded coves. The beach is beautiful and sandy and popular and can only be reached by walking or by boat.
We started our hike at Hahei Beach.




The wasp sting didn’t detain us for long. After a few minutes of resting, a cold cloth and a bandaid we continued the hike. We had beautiful views of the coastline and even saw some birds.











There were some goats enjoying a snack alongside the trail.



Cathedral Cove itself did not disappoint.








Now time to hike back.
