The Rarangi-Whites Bay Track is a tramping track which must be walked both ways unless transport is arranged. 

The track zig-zags up from Whites Bay through a pine plantation to the Port Underwood Road, then follows the road for about 500 m before descending to Rarangi, near the Monkey Bay track. This track is exposed in places and visitors should keep to the formed track.

Follow SH1 to Tuamarina (9 km north of Blenheim or 20 km south of Picton). Turn off and head east via Hunter, Pembers and Rarangi Roads to Rarangi. If starting from Whites Bay, climb steeply over rugged hills to where a short side road leads down to the cable station.

Whites Bay is 15 km from Tuamarina. Alternative access involves a 41 km drive from Picton along the historic and spectacular but winding and unsealed Port Underwood Road.
