Greetings Everyone - Join us on Sunday as we explore Duder Regional Park in East Auckland.
🟡 Some words to Inspire you:
This scenic coastal loop combines rolling farmland, dramatic peninsula viewpoints, and quiet beaches, with sweeping views across the Hauraki Gulf. Highlights include a side trip to the historic Whakakaiwhara Pā for panoramic vistas, a relaxed beach lunch stop, and a varied return through sheltered valleys, wetlands, and native coastal bush.
Duration: About 4 hours hike including stops.
Distance: Approx 6 - 8 km.
Difficulty: 2.5 on our 1-5 scale for day hikes.
Cost for Car Poolers: $15 - Please pay the driver your car pooling contribution in cash at Freemans Bay, otherwise you may not be able to come.
Toilets: Located at the Regional Park car park
