There are many trails in Karori Sanctuary, but this is the main route from the visitor centre past the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir. There are good views here, and binoculars are provided to scan the dams and surrounding hillsides. There is plenty of interest along the way with Weta hotels, bird displays and Kaka bird feeders.

Please note that this is a walking track only. For walking or mountain biking see the Fenceline.

Turn off Chaytor St just past the Karori tunnell on to Waiapu Road. This no-exit road terminates at the Karori Sanctuary, where there is a car park.
