Te Araroa - 02 Auckland - e Puhoi to Wenderholm Kayak

The kayak route is open for 10 months (September to June) and is best down on an outgoing tide. At any time of the year you can walk to Wenderholm or close by Waiwera using the left fork (right coming north)

Covering 6.7 km, this is a satisfying walk that most reasonably fit hikers will complete in about 1 hour and 29 minutes.

This linear trail moves from one end to the other without looping back. A return journey by transport — or retracing the path — is needed to get back to the start. The trail is officially waymarked as TA02e, so look out for the trail markers along the way.

This is a Local Walking Network (LWN) trail — a community-level route perfect for exploring the immediate surroundings, popular with locals and visitors alike.
