Not sure what all the laid traps are for, maybe to get rid of any remaining wildlife?nOnly saw one bird during the ~5km track. As a tourist, it still may be worth doing if you want a long walk or trail run.
A lovely route to the foresty hills of Paihia, worth the effort to go for a walk or run and see the view from up there!
If you're feeling active and want a bit of excersise this walk/climb is a great opportunity to enjoy the native forest and be rewarded with a nice view of the Bay of Islands. Nice wide track, well maintained and easy enough for children to do. It is a climb up hill but not too bad. Well marked. At the junction near top take the right leg to the lookout. There are a couple of seats at the top to rest while enjoying the view Parking at the bottom for a few cars.
Beautiful walk easily accessed from the town center.
Lovely, tranquil and well-kept trail. Easy to walk on track. It was an uphill climb though, so do be prepared! The view is amazing nParking is at an awkard junction, but thankful for friendly locals.
