This easy ride does not have extremely steep grades of many of the island's other tracks. It winds through regenerating forest and was once the road linking the island's south and north. From Harataonga campsite, the track heads west across a stream before following a coastline of magnificent views. The track ends at Aotea Road at the south end of Okiwi Basin.

Access Info

There are two entry points. The Okiwi end starts at a signpost on Aotea Road, at the south end of Okiwi. Alternatively you can leave from the Harataonga campsite.
