About this place
This is a short walk in inner Queen Charlotte Sound.
Know before you go
Kumutoto Bay – Kumutoto West Track
The track from Kumutoto Campsite to the next bay is closed due to a large windfall and a slip. The slip is 30 metres across and has removed the track entirely in this section. Do not attempt to cross the windfall or the slip. Access to the camp and the jetty are not affected by this damage.
