Explore the delights of the
Bay of Islands by walking our forest tracks, beach pathways, and mangrove boardwalks. |
This beautiful walk circles a branch of the Bay of Islands and travels past beaches and bays, through woodlands and reserves. The full trip typically starts at Paihia and goes along the shore to the half way point at Opua ferry where it crosses to Okiato. The Okiato section goes through some lovely restored reserves and beaches and finishes at the old whaling town of Russell where you can catch the ferry back to Paihia.
Join us for the Bay of Islands Walking Weekend which takes place in mid October each year. https://boiwalkingweekend.co.nz/ There are great walks on the Islands and around the Bay with guides to point out and explain features in the environment.

Visitors to our beautiful Bay are can enjoy the natural new Zealand's woods and birds but it is the dedicated, behind the scene work, of the volunteers that make it possible.

Work on the track is going on all the time and we need volunteers and support. If you feel like joining a group of volunteers, most of whom are well past the first flush of youth, and help restore the woodland and wetlands to improve the habitat for native birds, go to the contact page and send an email.
