You’re looping around the edges of Raglan, mostly following the Opotoru River estuary with the harbour never far away. The route crosses three bridges, passes the campground, swings past the aerodrome, and takes in the Kaitoke Walkway, which has the best estuary views of the lot. A section through the residential streets brings you back to the start.
