Waiheke Walks
Walks on Waiheke Island provide the perfect way to get close to nature and discover the beauty of the island. While some of the walks on Waiheke are easy strolls, most walking experiences on the island are of tramping track standard and require a reasonable level of fitness. While on your walk, be sure to respect the environment.
Whakanewha Regional Park
2.5 Hours ~ Access: Gordons Road
On the south side of Waiheke Island, Whakanewha Regional Park is known for its mature coastal forest, cascading streams, and sweeping crescent-shaped beach, which is cut in two by a forest-covered headland. At high tide the water is shallow, warm and ideal for children.

Matiatia/Owhanake Loop
3 Hours ~ Access: Matiatia Wharf
This walk is ideal to take in as much of the island as possible without venturing too far from the ferry and Oneroa Village. The main loop takes about three hours at a leisurely pace, while several side trips take in some of Waiheke Island's historical highlights.
Church Bay Circuit
3 Hours ~ Access: Matiatia Wharf
Spectacular views, a special scenic reserve and an area of historical significance are features of this sometimes strenuous walk. Follow the beach to the southern end, cross the stream and climb the hillside to the first track intersection.
Onetangi Meanderings
2 Hours ~ Access: The Strand
Onetangi is Waiheke's longest ocean beach. A particularly beautiful part of the island, Onetangi Bay has a long, white-sand beach, ideal for family outings, safe swimming and for picnics, with a choice of refreshment establishments.
Oneroa / Blackpool Stretch
1.5 Hours ~ Access: Tui Street
This walk starts at the island's main village, Oneroa. Two access ways are available from Oneroa Village to Oneroa Beach - one on the corner of Oceanview and Waikare Roads, and the other opposite the Red Cross Hall.
Hekerua Bay to Palm Beach
2 Hours ~ Access: Top of Goodwin Ave & Queen's Dr
A concrete path zig-zags down through Watters Glen to Hekerua Bay. Turn hard-right from the end of the concrete path to access Te Aroha Avenue. The incline is gentle and grassed for 250 metres, then becomes a steep track with more than 100 steps.
Stony Batter Historic Reserve
1 Hour ~ Access: Man O' War Bay Road (follow signposts)
Stony Batter was part of the Auckland coastal defense system but fortunately Auckland was never attacked and the guns were never fired in anger. The fortifications include an underground tunnel system (entrance fee applies).
