A great walk that was enjoyed by all. Some of the group had never done this track before, so it was wonderful to introduce them to the Mt Kaukau experience. The climb was a good workout, and the stunning views from the top made every step worthwhile. We were also lucky to have beautiful weather from start to finish.
The hike to the summit took around 35 to 40 minutes (with stops included) and was challenging but everyone did an excellent job.
After leaving Mt Kaukau, we stopped for lunch, giving everyone the opportunity to relax and recharge before continuing the descent and emerging near the Khandallah Swimming Pool.
This walk has something for everyone, with a mix of hills, native bush, and spectacular views along the way. The changing scenery throughout the loop makes it both interesting and rewarding.
