Te Ara Tāhuna Estuary Walkway, Ōrewa
Walk or ride this 7.6km track that fringes the water and passes an eye-catching Māori carving, parks and cafés. Flat and gentle, it’s a good option for families with kids.
Ōrewa Estuary Arts Centre
Exhibitions are fresh here, there’s a delightful gift shop and café, and if you’re up for it, workshops too.
Alice Eaves Bush Path
At the northern end of Ōrewa, you’ll find this peaceful short bush walk. The path is mainly gravel and boardwalk, with plenty of steps.
Silverdale
On your way north, stop off at one of the new cafés in Silverdale before you explore the beautiful Hibiscus Coast.
Auckland Adventure Park Kids both young and old love the luge, bungy, zipline, tube rides and 7D movies. Just outside of Ōrewa.
Auckland Council Glamping
Fancy something a little different to your standard tent? Nipping the beachfront at Ōrewa Beach Holiday Park, choose from a steel-framed canvas tent or a lotus belle glamping tent.
Whangaparāoa Peninsula Beaches
Drive this breath-taking coastline, visiting Red Beach, Stanmore Bay, Little Manly, Big Manly and Army Bay with picnics, sandy walks, beach naps and swims.
Wenderholm Regional Park
The flat grassy areas are perfect for a game of cricket or touch. Visit the historic Couldrey House, climb theancient pōhutukawa trees, paddle the balmy estuary or hit the beach, ideal for little swimmers.
