Overview
Join nature-loving Yoga teacher, Leadership and Mind Fitness Coach and Workplace Wellbeing advocate Mirjam Grayson for a walk that awakens the senses, with time to connect, breathe, and soak up the awe-inspiring coastal scenery.

Starting at Matiatia, we’ll explore the picturesque headland, wandering past dramatic cliffside
vistas, architectural gems overlooking the sea and secluded beaches as we make our way via
Owhanake and Island Bay to Oneroa Beach. Enjoy sweeping ocean views as the track winds
over rocky headlands and descends into tranquil coves.  We’ll pause along the way for a BYO picnic lunch, and perhaps a refreshing swim if you feel inclined.

As a special treat, finish with an organic loose-leaf tea ceremony at island legend Timmy Smith, creator of a range of sophisticated non-alcoholic delicious sugar free sparkling tea.

A relaxed, scenic walk that concludes with a sensory tea ritual to restore and nourish body, mind,
and spirit.

This walk is graded 7 out of 10. This means the route can include unformed tracks, possibly narrow or muddy stretches and steep sections. Please choose walks you are comfortable with and if you are booking for others, check with them too. Thanks. *Please arrive well-hydrated and bring a large bottle of water to drink en-route. Dehydration can seriously impact your health and enjoyment, particularly in hot and sunny conditions*.
