WALKING TRACKS
Te Henga Walkway
Reward yourself with a relaxing stay at Muriwai at the end of one of Aucklands longest and most stunning walks, the Te Henga Track. The clifftop walk extends 8km from Bethells Beach to south of Muriwai Beach and is part of the Hillary Trail, which connects a numbers of tracks in the Waitakere Ranges. The spectacular views of Auckland’s wild west coast will give you goosebumps and bring a tear to your eye.
The walk takes four hours… one way.
Edwin Mitchelson Track
1/2 hour - 1.1km
From Oaia Road, the Edwin Mitchelson Track descends through regenerating coastal forest to Lookout Track (20 minutes) then continues to Edwin Mitchelson Road. Enjoy spectacular views north up Muriwai Beach.
Maukatia-Maori Bay Track
0.16 hour - 0.2 km
Don't be put off by the fact that this track just seems like a connection between the two carparks; the track passes by a number of majestic Puriri trees. This shaded and peaceful track may be all you need to recharge your batteries after the crowds.
Muriwai Lookout Track
1/2 hour - 0.7km
Though bush walking may not be the main reason for most people to visit Muriwai, this track should be able to convince most people that perhaps it should be. The track has a good surface and winds past mature coastal bush.
Takapu Refuge Walk
½ hour - 0.8 km
From the carpark at Maukatia/Maori Bay, the Takapu Refuge walk skirts around headland then descends to the end of Muriwai Beach Access Road. Two short branch tracks lead to lookouts over the gannet colony.
