★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's good to see how the Waikanae Estuary is being preserved and developed. The walkway is great that takes you to Waikanae River or to Paraparaumu Beach.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A pleasant quietly picturesque hour or so spent exploring the area by foot. Flat track, wide enough for two people, but also easily cyclable. Part of a much longer 21km section of the Te Araroa Trail.
As it got warmer there were an increasing amount of wasps flying about.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a pretty estuary area found onnthe Kapiti Coast. The area has lots of plants, dunes and birds. It is great for a walk along the tracks and down to the water, both the Waikanae River and the sea. There are dome great views of Kapiti Island from the beach.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Some great wildlife and the estuary is awesome. Didn’t see many native birds but not surprised as I also saw plenty of dogs off lead.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good place to capture pictures of Birds.
I went after a days work and was just in time before sunset. Approached from the Manly Street end. A short boardwalk takes you to the estuary.
Lot of previous walkways have now been re-routed to give the NZ Dotterels a chance to breed. There is plenty of birds to be found. Variable Oystercatchers, Spoonbills, Gulls, Ducks of many variety. Lots and lots of swallows etc.
People were catching fish at the mouth of the estuary and getting lucky.
Loved this short trip. Will surely come back.
This is a fragile eco-system. Please respect the signs. Dogs need to be on leash in many places.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Well worth visiting and a pleasant easy walk, ride, or wheelchair and pram pushing venture. The tracks are well sign posted and with Scenic views. Added to this walk is educational information on the local environment and effects of man on this area
