Captains Bush Reserve loop

Description of this walk

This walking track takes you through Waikōwhai Park and the regenerating forest of Captain's Bush.

Faulkner Bay is at the centre of this loop. It has a boat ramp and kayak access.

This loop is also great for gatherings as there is a picnic and barbecue site, and a playground at Waikōwhai Park.

Not suitable for mountain bikes, baby buggies or wheelchairs

On-leash

For your safety:

Avoid being caught out by the Manukau Harbour tides.

Plan your low tide sections so you can make it back to dry land in good time. Get to solid land, stay put, and call the Coastguard.

Access points are Waikōwhai Road and Aldersgate Road.

There is a map of the loop on the Waikōwhai Walkway page.
