This full circle track follows the coastline above beaches and bays, across mangrove boardwalks and through bush and wetland. The track can also be easily done in smaller manageable chunks with the aid of local taxis or transport options such as ferry trips between Paihia and Russell and then again between Okiato and Opua.
PLEASE Prevent Kauri Die Back Disease Spreading.
After visiting Kauri trees please do the following:
1. Clean all dirt off footwear, hiking pole, tyres and equipment before and after a visit to a Kauri Forest
2. Stay on tracks at all times and away from Kauri roots. Walking and disturbing soil around the roots can spread the disease and damage fine feeder roots.
Please keep our Kauri alive for future generations. Kia Toitu He Kauri.
