Muriwai

Maukatia/Maori Bay Track

Tramping track

Don't be put off by the fact that this track just seems like a connection between the two car parks, the track passes by a number of majestic Puriri trees. This shaded and peaceful track may be all you need to recharge your batteries after the crowds on the beach and the hot summer sun. Linking it with a trip to the Takapu Refuge creates a great loop walk through part of Muriwai many visitors miss.
