This track is part of the Hilary Trail.
Go west to the Waitākere Ranges and wind through wild and stunning locations like Huia, Piha and Muriwai.
The Te Henga Walkway, between Bethells and Muriwai, is part of the Hillary Trail, which connects a number of existing tracks in the Waitākere Ranges. It is a great option if you’re looking for some solitude and fresh ocean air.
The track heads in the direction of the ocean, ascending cliff tops at times. Parts are narrow and steep so it’s best to walk the track in dry weather. There are boardwalks and bridges in over wet/muddy areas.
Track conditions often change. Be prepared by checking with the Department of Conservation before you go.
Alternative routes
