Description
No chance of getting lost here.... head from the carpark up to the lower lookout, take a pic or two... then head through the footwash for your shoes and start climbing. Little spurts of runnable semi-flat and all those steps, but so worth it at the top. When you've been there, taken the pics and sucked it all in, return the same way.

Access
Head from Whangarei towards Whangarei Heads... when you get to Whangarei Heads Village, look for Mt Manaia Club on your left, head into there and down to the bottom carpark and you will see the start of the trail.
Quite a lot of parking.

Up top is exposed, so strong winds could make it dodgy.
There are dangerous drop-offs up top especially, however common sense will keep you safe.
