“Discover one of the east coast's last remaining tracts of native coastal forest with its many nikau palms - it's a short, easy walk that's great for kids.”
This well-marked, all-weather track is mostly flat with some gentle inclines. It's suitable for families.
For a more challenging walk, branch off on the Ridge Track or Mangakawa Track.
