Description
Ascend through regenerating native bush to Mt Kaukau where the effort is rewarded with spectacular views of Wellington city, harbour and the Rimutaka and Tararua Ranges. In good weather snowcapped mountains in the South Island are visible while to the north the view incorporates the Porirua Basin and Tasman sea beyond.
This moderate walk takes 50 minutes and provides a grassy area half way up for picnics. Drop down to Khandallah Park and reward the climb with a swim (open all summer) and a play in the playground.
Duration: 50 minutes.
