Discover the best walks in Auckland that I've walked
I live in Auckland so getting out and walking the tracks is easy for me.
Some of the most popular areas for walking include the stunning Waitakere Ranges with their lush rainforests and cascading waterfalls, the iconic coastal walk from Mission Bay to St. Heliers, and the breathtaking views from the volcanic cones like Mt. Eden and One Tree Hill.
Explore Auckland on foot and experience its natural beauty and urban charm. There are plenty of beautiful beaches to walk on, picnic and take lovely photos.
