Whitireia Inland

Porirua, Wellington, New Zealand

Inland track through Whitireia Park.

Easy / Intermediate (northern half)

Bike and Foot

This tracks starts with a gentle climb through the centre of Whitireia Park, approaching from the south to reach a saddle point overlooking Onehunga Bay.

Near the saddle point, the wide and well groomed track stops and is replaced with a narrow track that is more like a trench in places. The descent down to the bay is quite difficult, especially if the track has been cut up by the cattle that frequent the area.

Just after Whitireia Coastline crosses a wetland, head inland up a gentle valley.

The track ends at the main Whitireia Park car park.

The southern half of this track used to be narrow and tricky, just like the northern half still is. It seems that funding for upgrading the track ran out before they finished the job.
