The track entrance is really good. They have biosecurity kinda thing. When you need to scrub your shoes and then step on a mesh kinda thing to spray you shoes with something, only after that you can open the gate to the track. The parking is limited here, so try to get early. The track itself is nice, not really difficult, sometimes dirty and wet though so wear appropriate gear.
We did a loop track and it took 3h to finish. Became one of my favourite tracks around Auckland:) This long track has lots of slippery spots, so be careful and I recommend to wear hiking boots and bring a towel and socks!! You definitely get wet coz you have to cross some rivers and one of them was around 40cm in depth when I went there.
We heard it was a great walk. Parking from horseman's road end wasn't pleasant. Council need to step it up if they want to promote this walk as a must do. Didn't end up going on walk, will try another time. After talking with angry residents about the state of parking.
Drove 40 mins to find this track closed. How about some signs instead of wasting my gas and time. Have some proper warning of track closure on the council website and on Google.
Great walk - lots of trees so good for a hot day. Choice of a loop walk which takes about 2.5 hours or the shorter walk to the falls and back which is about 40min depending on fitness. There are a few hills. You will need decent walking shoes and even more so if the weather has been wet. The track is easy and well signposted. You need to clean your shoes before and after as there are issues with kauri die back and we want to preserve our kauri trees. There is a toilet at the entrance but nothing after that.
Full walk (passed the bridge, includes Mokoroa stream track) took 6 hours at a leisurely pace, 10kms, stream crossings galore so recommend a camelbak, snacks and appropriate foot wear.
Dangerous as a track, but beautiful.
