The trip from Opotiki to Gisborne can probably take about two and a half hours but by picnicking or generally messing around anywhere in the delightful bush setting of the gorge the trip can profitably be made to last many hours longer
The trip from Wairoa to Napier has several side trips available & is part of the Napier to Wairoa Heritage Trail. See the Heritage Trails – Napier to Wairoa brochure, available at Wairoa & Napier I-sites.
