Want a new walking route?

Tauranga boasts 27km of beautiful walkways, which are open for public use, around the coastal areas, estuary and inland reserves. Walks vary from short 15 minute strolls to more ambitious 2 hour hikes for the super keen!

Some of the tracks are purpose-built, wooden slatted paths, while others are naturally worn walkways, forged by previous walkers, complete with tree roots and native plants so you choose what sort of walk you want.
