Auckland's Coast to Coast Walk

Described as The hike that defines Auckland - a 16 kilometre trail across Auckland city, this walk is for  the fit.

It takes several hours to walk from Onehunga and the Manukau Harbour to downtown Auckland and the Waitemata Harbour.

Is you're planning on bringing a car, start off in Onehunga, where the parking is easier - then return by train from Britomart station, in the City, to retreive it!

There's plenty of background information on the  sights along this walk on the former Auckland City Council's website here.
