Whangaroa Walks
Explore Whangaroa walks! Hike St Paul's Rock for stunning harbour views or Duke’s Nose for a great workout.
I had a fantastic time hiking all the walks at Whangaroa
Whangaroa’s diverse landscape offers three awesome walks. I’ve explored the panoramic views atop St. Paul’s Rock, feeling the lovely breeze as I admired the harbour below. On another day, I embarked on a longer journey on the Wairakau Stream hike. There isn’t much in Whangaroa town itself, except the fishing club which does some awesome fish and chips!
How to get to Whangaroa
We arrived on our boat and tied the dinghy up to the wharf. But you can drive there too, there is plenty of parking at the wharf.
Whangaroa boasts a rich and complex history, intertwined with the stories of Maori and European encounters.
