You can start at Karori Cemetery and walk towards Makara or go the other way. I love running up to Johnston hill reserve peak. You can continue on towards Mount KauKau. It's an amazing trail with vistas on both sides. Recommended.

A gourgeous view from the top of the hill! The circle route was easy enough to walk with a toddler. The way down was a bit scary as after the dawn the forest seemed really wild (thanks, God, we're not in Australia!).

Easy walk up to the top. Fantastic views. Best on a calm day as very exposed

Not too hard a climb, with great all-round views at the top on a good day. Watch out for the gorse up top tho, it's a bit prickly if you get a little off-track. Someone has cleverly provided optional side-tracks if you don't like the stairs (but there are not too many at least). Good options on continuing a walk along the Skyline track heading north to Mt Kaukau or south to Karori or Makara.

Beautiful forest walk up to the top of the hills with great 360 degree views of Wellington. A special place indeed

Under used, steep walk on well formed tracks, many steps. Good view. 2km loop

A well maintained track, boasting decent views of Karori and beyond. Easy access to skyline track.

Johnston's Hill is a good viewpoint over Karori to the harbour. It's a not-too-difficult walk up from Hauraki Street, and an easy diversion if you're walking or riding along Skyline
