Walkways
Our walkways allow you to enjoy our unique and valued natural environment. They
also take you through some of the city's most historic landmarks. Whether its wandering
the Rocky Bay Ramble on Waiheke Island or strolling the coastal walks in the isthmus,
there's something for everyone.
The walkways pass though many of the 800 parks and open spaces cared for by Auckland
City Council.
Walkways detailed on this site include:
| Waiheke Island - free guided walks
Auckland Council is offering free guided walks on Waiheke Island this
summer.
The walks take place:
- every Wednesday from 1 December 2010 to 30 March 2011 (except 29
December 2010 and 5 January 2011) and
- every Sunday from 16 January to 17 February 2011.
The walks start at 10.45am from Matiatia Wharf on Waiheke Island and
last around two hours. They include hilly sections but are all on formed
Auckland Council walkways. They are suitable for most ability levels.
Each week the guide will choose a different route from the wharf at
Matiatia. Most walks will end in the village of Oneroa, which has shops,
cafes and a world class beach. Oneroa is only 20 minutes walk from the
ferry back to Auckland.
Visitors from Auckland should catch the 10am ferry from the downtown
ferry terminal. They will be met by the guide on the wharf when the boat
arrives at Waiheke Island. Walkers should bring sensible shoes, water
and sun block.
