Greetings Everyone - The summer series of short walks is underway for the second year, join us this Wednesday walking from Devonport to Stanley Bay and finish on Mount Victoria
🟡 Words to Inspire you:
On a summer evening, the ferry ride to Devonport sets the tone with golden light across the harbour. From the wharf, the walk flows toward Stanley Bay, where calm waters reflect the fading sky.
Parks along the way offer green pauses, leading us to the Naval Sports Field, alive with open space and history. The climb up Mount Victoria rewards with sweeping views of Auckland, the city glowing as dusk settles.
Descending into Devonport’s lively streets, we finish at Signal Hill, where conversation and cool drinks carry the adventure into night — a perfect blend of nature, community, and celebration.
Duration: About 90minutes hours walk including stops.
Distance: Approx 5-6 km.
Difficulty: 1.0 on our 1-5 scale for day hikes. Easy
