New Zealand Duke´s Nose (Kaiaraara Rocks), Totara North
Duke´s Nose is a rock on top of a smaller mountain and offers great views into the bays and curvy indentations. The step formed cliffs complete the fantastic view.
Photography Tips
Go up for sunrise. Normally there is nobody and you have this place all for yourself. Plan your arrival time so that you have a little more space for orientation at the top.
Use your different lenses for different perspectives. It is worth it to get some golden minimalistic shots from the sea stacks in the far distance.

Travel Information
This 10,3 km out-and-back trail with around 528 meter of elevation is a moderate hike and requires a normal level of fitness. Just at the end of the trail is a climbing section with some ladders. If it was rainy the days before the river stream crossing after half of the way can be a bit tricky. So take care on slippery sections.
