Motuihe Island Loop

There's so many islands to look for, beaches to run down to and a number of dotterel down on the beach. So try to stay down near the water when running on the beach. There's a water tower and graveyard with some interesting stories to explore. The views back to the city are good if you have a telephoto lens.

If you know of any public toilets near the trail start or on the route, please login and then let us know so we can update this section.

Getting to the start line here is a little bit of a challenge. You'll need a boat or, to catch the ferry from Downtown Auckland - details here

Great selection of Yakitori. Coal fired BBQ skewers. The smell is wonderful, as is the rustic decor. I've been eating here for over 20 years. Omnivore? Try the chicken hearts - they're delicious! Pescetarian?: Wasabi Prawns Vegetarian? Deep fried Camembert. Vegan? BBQ corn, salad and mushrooms
