Tūtūkākā walks

A photo of Whangaumu, also known as Wellington's Bay, on the Tutukaka Coast.

Immerse yourself in nature on the Tūtūkākā coast on a short walk or enjoy the view from a cliff-top lookout. 

These short walks have their starting point near the coastal villages of Ngunguru and Tūtūkākā Marina which both have cafes and eateries for you to enjoy after your walk.

Parking

Car parking is available at Whangaumu Street, near Whangaumu lookout.

What to expect

  • The coast can be very exposed and weather can change rapidly.

There may be some known and potential hazards that users should be aware of and avoid.
