Description

This is a very pleasant and gentle track with a nice outlook over the harbour.

Although the track is narrow in places, there's nothing at all technical along the way - except, perhaps, the cattle that are sometimes present.

Watch out for the low wire rope barriers across the track - easy to step over, but tricky to ride over. There are also a couple of fences/stiles to contain the cattle.

Getting there

Continue off the end of Onepoto Road, past the boat sheds, and the road turns into a singletrack that meanders around the coastline all the way to the main car park in Whitireia Park.

Other notes

This is one of the very rare mountain bike tracks in Wellington that doesn't involve a hill. No point on this track is more than 5m above sea level.
