G-O Hike: Waikowhai Coastal Boardwalk to Ambury Regional Park Lookout
Details
Hello fellow Get‑Outsiders!
Come join us for a nice winter walk along the Manukau Harbour coastline.
We will start with the Waikowhai Coastal Boardwalk, then follow the track towards Ambury Park at a relaxed pace, taking time to enjoy the views, boardwalk, and open spaces. This is an easy, social outing designed to help us slow down and enjoy the natural beauty of the region. You are welcome to stay longer after the walk if you wish to explore or relax. We will decide on the day between us on where we would like to stop for a lunch break.
