Hunua Ranges Regional Park - Hunua Ranges Regional Park 203 Falls Road

Gets pretty busy on the weekends but the walks here are beautiful.

Beautiful spot. Easy walks. I wish other walkers would wear masks, we're still in level 3.

Great place to visit...enjoyed the sun. Very accessible and easy to go to. Road might be a bit tricky when wet but driving safely is all that matters...

Great track especially in summer, lots of shade. Note can be a wet track after rain. Lots of incline depending on which track you choose

Lovely walk, just don't do it at the hottest time of day. Allow plenty of time to do the bigger loops. If you are going to go all that way no point in just going and doing the little stroll to the waterfall! Makes the most of the day - take a picnic with you and swimming costumes to have a nice dip!

Lovely day trip out of Auckland. If you’re just after a bit of walking do the 1.5 hours loopwalk as it leads you through beautiful scenery a long the way. Be prepared if you’re staying at the nearby Campground or doing the longer walks. Also check depending on which track you‘re wanting to do if it’s actually open due to the Kauri Dieback. Had a great day there, also walking along the dam is awesome.

The Hunua Ranges cover about 400 square kilometres along the south eastern side of the Auckland region. Most of the area lies within the Waharau Regional Park, which has more than 450 species of native plants. Hiking tracks in the park pass through dense native forests to high ridge lines that offer long range views to the city or the Firth of Thames. One of the popular shorter walks is to the impressive Hunua Falls. Swimming holes in the numerous streams and rivers offer a refreshing break on a more challenging hike. More information Several camping areas, equipped with the basic necessities, provide scenic accommodation. Bookings are through Auckland Regional Council. Mountain bikers are welcomed in the ranges and some exciting trails have been built by biking enthusiasts working with the regional council. Both the Mangatawhiri and the Mangatangi dams offer rainbow trout fishing along the face of the dams. Waitakere Ranges Before you go… Kauri is part of New Zealand’s heritage.

Great place to have a picnic or just hike. Swimming is good but wouldn't recommend as there has been deaths in the past, people swimming need to follow instructions but some don't. Generally a good day out type of thing.
