Overview
Discover Nature’s Best on This Scenic 6km Loop Walk

Stretch your legs and lift your spirits on this delightful 6km loop walk that winds through a rich tapestry of wetlands, open fields, and native bush. Perfect for walkers, this trail offers a refreshing mix of terrain and a front-row seat to the beauty of Aotearoa’s diverse landscapes.

Begin your journey by meandering through peaceful wetlands, where you’ll spot striking stands of oioi grass swaying gently in the breeze—an iconic plant of estuarine environments where saltwater and freshwater meet. Keep an eye out for raupō (bull rush), mangroves, and the tall, feathery plumes of toetoe lining the path—each adding to the lush, coastal feel of the area.

This is a wonderful loop walk from the local Waiheke Museum, which circumnavigates the Rangihoua Pā site.  Note:  For Maori cultural reasons, please respect this tapu area no food is permitted on the site.

After this stunning walk, enjoy a wine tasting at Postage Stamp and enjoy the ambience and chilled vibes at one of Waiheke’s hottest and laid back vineyard destinations.

This walk is graded 6 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.
Please do not park in the Museum car park as it’s extremely limited.
