Kia ora and thanks for your inquiry. A guided tour of Te Ana maori Rock Art Centre takes around an hour, however you are welcome to stay as long as like. We are open from 10am to 3pm. You would need to allow 3 hours to take the guided tour of the rock art sites at Opihi - this includes a one hour guided tour of the Centre, which provides an excellent orientation for the site tour. The Centre + Caves activity runs daily at 2pm and you need to have your own transport (you follow our guide to the site). Amanda Amanda
