About this place
The Harataonga Coastal Walkway is a popular walk on the eastern coast. It has magnificent coastline views.
The route
This easy walk does not have the steep grades of many of the island's other tracks. It winds through regenerating forest and was once the road linking the island's south and north. From Harataonga campsite, the track heads west across a stream before following a coastline of magnificant views. The track ends at Aotea Road at the south end of Okiwi Basin. The Harataonga Coastal Walkway is not a mountain bike route.
