Auckland Global Trekkers

Greetings Everyone - Join us on Sunday as we walk from Bethells Beach to O'Neill Beach, explore and then return and do the southern end of the beach.

🟡 Some words to Inspire you:
Walking north from Bethells Beach, the sand stretches wide and wild beneath basalt cliffs. The tide carves patterns as you pass Te Henga Stream and curve toward O’Neill Bay, where waves crash in a secluded amphitheatre of rock.
The return walk reveals new textures—wind-sculpted dunes, shifting light, and seabirds tracing the shoreline. Back at Bethells, the southern end invites slower steps: tide pools glinting in late sun, caves etched into cliff faces, and the hush of wetlands behind the dunes. It’s a walk of rhythm and reflection, where every grain of sand feels storied.

Greetings Everyone - Join us on Sunday as we walk from Waihi Beach to Orokawa Bay and Homunga Bay.

🟡 Some words to Inspire you:
In November, the hike from Waihi Beach to Orokawa Bay and Homunga Bay offers a stunning coastal escape.
Starting at the surf club, the track winds through lush native bush, with towering pōhutukawa and glimpses of the Pacific Ocean. The walk to Orokawa Bay takes about 45 minutes, revealing a secluded beach framed by forest.
From there, the trail to Homunga Bay climbs gently, offering panoramic views and rich birdlife. The full return journey takes around four hours, so sturdy shoes, water, and sun protection are essential.
November’s mild weather and blooming coastal flora make this one of New Zealand’s most scenic day hikes

Greetings Everyone - Join us on Sunday as we walk from Piha to Whites Beach and return.

🟡 Some words to Inspire you:
This moderately challenging return walk from Piha to Whites Beach follows the inland route via the Marawhara Walk, avoiding the exposed coastal headlands. The track winds through lush native bush with steady elevation gain and occasional muddy patches, offering a quieter, shaded alternative to the cliffside path.

Expect uneven terrain and some steep sections, especially near the junction with the Whites Beach track. Total distance is approximately 3.5 km return with 1260m elevation gain.

Suitable for fit walkers with sturdy footwear. We'll pause at Whites Beach for a rest/lunch and scenic views before retracing our steps.
