The Escarpment Track is a spectacular walk along the Kāpiti Coast with beautiful views of the ocean and Kāpiti Island. The track includes two swing bridges, sections of native forest, and quite a few stairs!
The track is quite exposed and some of the track is along a narrow ridgeline. The track begins near the Pukerua Bay station and ends near the Paekākāriki station.
Meeting point:
- We will meet at the Pukerua Bay train station at 10am.
- The start of the track is a 5min walk from here.
Getting there:
- You can catch the train from Wellington station to Pukerua Bay station.
If you are driving and would be willing to take others, please comment below.
What to bring:
- Water, snacks, and lunch.
- Rain jacket and warm clothes.
- Hiking boots or shoes.
- Sunhat and sunblock.
We’ll just be walking in one direction. It’s about a 10min train trip back to the starting point.
Both the start and endpoint of the track are very close to a train station, so it’s straightforward getting back.
